Passages I found insightful:
"...“Large vs. small” is a different debate than “bootstrapped vs venture-backed”, though the two are often conflated. It’s also worth noting that serving a small segment and progressively expanding outwards to serve the larger market is a totally legitimate large-market strategy..."
"...when we cut out the middleman. In addition to reducing cost, we often end up creating an internal byproduct that can be productized and sold to a completely new customer..."
"...Don’t screw with your users. They are your golden-egg-laying goose. Protect them from rapacious cofounders and investors..."
"...It’s our responsibility to create the circumstances for it and then capture that good fortune. The meek may inherit the earth, but they’ll be getting it from [the boss' nom de guerre] Kobayashi..."
"...pirate ships as organizational models. Pirate ships combine an “us against the world” mentality with a hunt for treasure. This crucible of chaos and ambition somehow...had a gravitational pull for talent and resources...the source of their power: influence rather than authority..."
