Having too many resources is a curse.

Obviously as the org scales you get the dreaded coordination headwind.

But it also encourages you to try to boil the ocean; to complicate too many things and try to power through too many walls.

The overall project grows in complication and smothers itself under its own weight.

A powerful meta strategy: take big, ambitious visions from previous failed mega-projects… and approach them in a "lateral thinking with weathered technology" mindset.

Same vision, different path there.

One that requires it to be grown, not built.

Tending to acorns, not building massive edifices.

You want a simple scrappy thing that is alive, not a large, over-built thing that is dead

If you find a cheap thing that is alive and can grow into the massive vision incrementally, that is highly asymmetric.
