graham said something to me that i'll never forget he's now written an essay body said

do things that don't scale

and this counterintuitive

and what that meant for us was we were able to go door to door meeting every one of our users trying to provide an amazing experience and if we had only relegated ourselves to a bedroom

or office apartment

you know because that's the only thing that seems scalable we would never create an amazing experience

and oftentimes the best methodology is to start with the perfect experience just one person

get that right and then figure out how to scale something great and set of scaling semi not so great and then trying to improve it that's really hard to do
