I was listening to Chamath, the great Facebook growth officer on his basic tenets of “just figuring things out”. I think that’s one of the things I like most about him- he doesn’t cover any of his success in some magic formula or a black box. He openly admits to just a few rules, and a lot of grinding.

He admits to being a card sharp when he was in his teen, in Toronto. I imagine he got good the same way- figuring things out. Here are some of his best;

• Don’t dismiss the fact that things have been done a way for a reason
• It’s not ALL disruption.
• Invalidate LORE and antidote.
• Use factual data and decisions.
• Divorce practice from the result.
• Repeat tens of thousand of times.
• Acquire true domain expertise.
