  • If you have a powerful compounding product, just make the product more what it wants to be.
    • Don't overthink it, just do what the people who care about it and have thought about it a lot think is an obvious improvement.
    • If a company has a product that has compounding value, then if engineers self report "I'm doing the best work of my career" then the company is thriving.
    • The more you overthink it, the more you'll interfere with the emergent magic of it.
    • People implicitly assume things that don't have a clean monocausal narrative don't exist, which causes them to miss the power of simply letting engaged employees work on the details they think matter.
