#9 : Talent Density Be rigorous in recruiting. Keep your standards very high. Then let smart people do their job. The first thing every interviewee commented on... @SpaceX had the highest density of talent they have ever seen. It set a high bar. Held people accountable.

#3 : Simplify or optimize The biggest mistake: People often do #3 before #1 & #2 . Do not optimize something that should be deleted. If you dive into optimizing something that should not exist, you're basically in a "mental strait jacket"

#8 : Flat title structure No title inflation. No serious egos. Flat orgs allow individual ownership. It allows colleagues to challenge one another. It allows people to move FAST. There are stories of young engineers flying cross-country to make last-minute adds to a rocket.

Learning to code changes how you think. Computers go from a rigid, fixed tool to something malleable you can solve problems with. It's pretty liberating. If you want to learn more, I wrote the entire story here:

Favorite topic from the @kwharrison13 / @contrarycapital event. @amasad on @Replit work culture. “We give individuals autonomy… for some reason humans like committees. Committees are terrible. If you see a committee, kill it immediately”
