A small group of talented people can change the world (so we are very careful and intentional with how we grow the team).
That flat organizations with high ownership are most efficient.
That outcomes matter, and goals are better than projects.
That conversations with teammates & users can answer questions quickly, and that data often exposes gaps in understanding.
That remote can work, but periodic in-person collaboration is healing.
That safety is most important when designing and deploying generational financial protocols, but rapid iteration is best for effective learning.
That honesty and transparency are critical, even if that means saying "I don't know yet."
That the best idea wins, not who said it.
That most great things are accomplished with a mixture of hard work and periodic recharging.
Oh yes, and please go touch some grass.
