leverage

Take accountability under your own name: the downside of being wrong is capped, the upside of being right publicly compounds.#accountability

Distribution lowers the activation cost of every other lever at once.#audience-multiplies-multipliers

Automation ROI follows a power law — automate the constraint, not whatever is easiest to automate.#automate-the-bottleneck

Code’s second zero-cost property is experimentation — you learn faster than anyone operating in atoms.#code-compresses-learning

Output is effort times a multiplier — and effort is bounded by biology while the multiplier is not.#effort-times-multiplier

Luck is not a random draw but a function of how much contact you maintain with the space where opportunity moves.#luck-surface-area

A few of your skills drive most of your value — balanced competence spreads you across the slots that do not pay.#multiplier-skills

Optionality pays when you do not need to be right — many cheap tries, each with a capped loss and an open upside.#optionality

The new leverage is code and media — zero marginal cost of replication, works while you sleep, needs no one's permission.#permissionless-leverage

Specific knowledge can't be trained, only found by following genuine curiosity — it feels like play to you and looks like work to others.#specific-knowledge

When producing code stops being scarce, the constraint moves to knowing what is worth building.#taste-is-the-new-bottleneck

An industry can be enormous, essential, and capital-destroying at once — mobile data grew orders of magnitude while the stocks went nowhere.#value-moves-up-the-stack

You cannot predict which attempt will land, so the only reliable lever is making more attempts.#volume-beats-perfection

Casual acquaintances carry more opportunity than close friends, because your close friends already know what you know.#weak-ties-bridge-worlds
