Compounding things are an order of magnitude better but only in a subtle way that's easy to miss.
- Compounding things are an order of magnitude better but only in a subtle way that's easy to miss.
- To most people it's not obvious until the absolute size gets impossible to miss.
- Because it's compounding, this happens relatively quickly… but at the very beginning it's hard to notice, or even looks slower than alternatives.
- It's like a dimension most people can't see.
- The solutions a one-ply thinker will build will mostly not be compounding.
- But some subset by happenstance will be, and then those grow by construction to dominate because they will grow at super-linear rates and crowd out other approaches.
- Instead of throwing spaghetti at the wall and hoping one of them compounds (or not even realizing to hope for that), if you can see the dimension directly then you can know immediately if one of them has It.
- It's a superpower.
