Ha! Well, my hope would be that, in a family context, the additional lines would be more love? But, yes, also way more coordination and communication challenges.
An example of why quality isn't possible at scale. I like fast food. It's a treat and, depending on the chain, one of those memory-sparking things. But I've lived most of my adult life in NY and LA, and I won't get fast food here. It's ALWAYS inferior -- maybe because of the hectic pace, maybe because of the employee turnover. I don't know -- it's just one of those things I save for visits to smaller cities and rural areas where employees actually care about these supposedly consistent items. (I mean, I prioritize the great dining experiences other towns are known for. I'm not a heathen.)
I have been pondering over this thought too. Also, if scale means uniformity, how will we continue to experience and appreciate diversity?
That interview with Jason Fried was really good, thank you.
I agree! I don't agree with everything Jason says, but his contrarian takes are always helpful. His perspective has shaped my view of work a lot.
Awkwardly, that graph has come up while my wife and I discussed the pros/cons of having another child.
