Yes, or any form of efficiency. One of the things that I learned remotely from Uber, because they were another blood-scaling company we covered elements of in the book, is one of the things when Uber's like, oh my God, we need to hire engineers really fast. So what they would do is they'd interview an engineer, reference check an engineer, and they'd offer engineer Sarah a job.

And then when they offer engineers here a job, they say, okay, well, we would like to interview with you. Who are the top three people you work with at your current company? And then just send those three people job offers. That's blitzscaling. Because it's like, well, maybe they're not going to really work out.
