How you run communications, how you make decisions, how you pivot or readjust something. All of this changes. Which risks are you willing to take? Like, for example, Facebook went, And people thought this was different, but it was like move fast and break things to move fast with scalable infrastructure. And it was like, oh, you got wise and you changed your theory of moving fast. No, no, no.
So the basic idea was to say, when you're hyperscaling to a market, obviously everyone wants to have as much revenue and as much customers in our house per employee is one of the ways to benchmark businesses. But almost all businesses also get to growing their employee base for various reasons.

What we realized was in our very earliest days, move fast and break things was the way to optimize speed. And then in our later days, the way to optimize speed was move fast with stable infrastructure because we broke the infrastructure. It was too hard to fix. And we suddenly were moving slower. So it's still both speed principles.

It's sales and new products and features, new product lines and customer service and account management and finance and everything else. So you, generally speaking, need to be scaling your employee base. at some rate with your business.

But those changes, because, for example, move fast and break things work totally fine when you're 40 people. When you're 500 people and the infrastructure breaking and everything breaksβ You know, let's keep the infrastructure running, however many other things we may be breaking as we're moving fast. So all of those things go into the different levels.
