why is everybody so obsessed with scale? the good things in live don't scale, like relationships. the dream of scaling everything to a 1 billion business is just greed talking. caring about a craft and building relationships will be more fulfilling than a billion in the bank



Not everyone is obsessed with scale, but news.ycombinator.com biases that way.


Exactly. Once you have met your needs why the fuck are you trying to get more money? You’ve maxed out on money, you fool! Work on another dimension of life!


Like the story of the businessman meeting the fisherman - "once you've built a business you can retire and do a little fishing" - "but I already do that"
