What We Are Building Now
Since actions -and not words- matter, we will be posting here what we are currently building.
Our Current Iterations
Our Guiding Principles
Thinking from First Principles
Breaking down complex problems into fundamental truths and building up from there, rather than reasoning by analogy.
Systems Thinking
Understanding how different parts interconnect and influence each other within a larger system to solve complex problems.
Agency
Taking immediate action and ownership of outcomes rather than waiting for perfect conditions or external validation.
Constraints Liberate
Using constraints effectively to unlock creativity and focus.
Experimentation
Learning through controlled failure and iteration, treating setbacks as valuable data points for improvement.
Mental Models
Using frameworks and patterns to better understand and navigate complex situations and decision-making.
Simple vs Easy
Choosing long-term simplicity over short-term convenience, related to Rich Hickey's famous talk.
Execution vs Overthinking
Prioritizing action and implementation over theoretical perfection, learning through doing rather than planning.
Makers vs Managers
We want to operate like makers, not managers. Related to the famous essay by Paul Graham "Maker's Schedule vs Manager's Schedule"
