The irony then, is that it’s so challenging to make a comfortable living as a musician. Though maybe that’s actually the cause.

I thought I’d seen it all in SF but then I met someone who works a 9-5 job as an operator and also has a full time principal role at a legit VC firm

I like that you didn’t explicitly rank these. It’s a good list, and the relative importance depends on job / team context

When I speak with people about the hiring space, some are so passionate about it needing improvement that they’re almost annoyed no one has figured out what’s next yet.

RIP Clayton Christensen, creator of Jobs to be Done and the theory of disruptive innovation -- “People don’t want to buy a quarter-inch drill. They want a quarter-inch hole.”

When I started at Uber years ago I asked an exec if Uber is a true marketplace without this option
Personal expectation: drivers who opt in experience inefficiencies, claim Uber is messing with the matching algo to punish them

Also weird connotation of getting into a car with someone you don’t know + candy. Didn’t our parents say something about that?

Have you seen a marathon winner? They sprint the whole time!
That’s what you’re competing against

N.3 is likely the most difficult to move, and N.2&4 seem likely to be glacial and happen company by company, but there’s considerable room for disruptive innovation in N.1

The solution is four pronged: 1) better care for packages in transit 2) clearer merchandising of products online 3) fewer incorrect deliveries 4) more effective curation of suggested products online

Returns happen over 3x more frequently on e-commerce purchases than in-store, but consumers are demanding hassle-free returns (largely due to Amazon)

The increase in return-rate for e-commerce purchases is THE big risk to the current purchasing model twitter.com/jmj/status/121…

You’re able to follow anyone but no one’s name is attached to their content at first. The site begins to make the poster’s name visible to you only after it feels confident, based on your reactions to previous posts, that you won’t lash out at the poster. Disagreements are ok tho

Interestingly, this shift favors the companies it’s been caused by. It will be challenging for new entrants to compete against the network effects the incumbents now enjoy due to their size.

That’s even more surprising. Even so, as the raw # of people increases (and amt. of usable hectares doesn’t) it should still hold

Agreed re: economics being a win for DSPs (many are trying their own kitchens right now) but then the incentives get a bit weird. Do you serve other DSPs from your kitchen? If you don’t, why would restauranteurs pick your kitchen? A solvable problem but not a guaranteed slam dunk
