such a good distillation of how to operate an ambitious company
Travis Kalanick's rule for pacing a company's ambition:
"I'm constantly creating problems. 'Hey, let's do Uber in China.' And you don't have a full understanding of that problem when you create it. If you create a problem, you have to solve it."
"I have this framework I call the meta problem. The derivative of your problem creation must be less than or equal to the derivative of your problem solving."
"If it's not, you have a real problem. You're underwater."
"You're guessing at what your capacity is to solve problems, and you're guessing six months, 12, 18 months ahead. When you get it really wrong, you must stop all problem creation so that you can get back above water."
