The operating thesis
Default paths are optimized for yesterday.
The status quo is useful—right up until it becomes invisible. We make assumptions visible, test them in public, and turn the useful discoveries into products.
- 01Find the constraint everyone learned to tolerate.
- 02Build a smaller, sharper alternative.
- 03Document the scars and release the work.
