A few operating principles.
Incentives determine what actually gets built.
Most constraints deserve to be tested.
- Inherited assumptions should earn their place.
- Reality is a hard enough limit.
Exceptional people need authority close to the work.
- Give people real ownership, then hold the bar high.
- The point is not to avoid every mistake. It is to compound judgment.
Speed is contact with reality.
- The faster the loop, the faster the learning.
- Pace forces focus. There is no room for what does not matter.
