Ben Cuan

in this current essay, I want to confront the rite of passage itself: to map out the risks that we are about to face and try to begin making a battle plan to defeat them.

if you create titles, people start coveting them, and this ends up creating competitive politics inside the company that undermines internal unity. Better to just give everyone the same title and make them go focus on the goal instead.

C.S. Lewis on the value of starting where you are:

“You can't go back and change the beginning, but you can start where you are and change the ending.”
