Great point. I was a big proponent of “the one thing” when I had my business. What’s the one thing I can work on that makes everything else easier. It was generally recruiting talent. 

“Knowing” what to work on is different than knowing what’s right to work on.

Ime The most dangerous bias we experience is working on things that are fun to build but don’t yield a lot of value.

Interesting. Not having a grand design does give you the ability to be more adaptable but do you find it hinders you in terms of figuring out what to work on and when?

Design

Everything that turned out well in my life followed the same design process

SN never had a grand design. It started as “pay to post/comment and get paid when people ‘vote’.” Everything else is change/unfolding.

When people ask what my vision for SN is even today, my answer is what I don’t want it to be, which isn’t much of a boundary or vision at all.
