People ask me about processes all the time. Planning processes, performance review processes, OKRs, et cetera. I think it’s because I was once a COO and people have this vision of COOs as process fiends. People who make the trains run on time. People with lots of Gantt charts all around them.

Big companies suck. EXCELLENT short essay @GuptaRK22 of @sequoia on why early systematic planning at startups is good in theory—but oft useless in practice Better to find the MAIN THING that matters urgently + get the best people to remember the main thing is the main thing
