“… the past that didn't work today, and now they can work, and so forth. The Chinese tech ecosystem is like the Galapagos Islands, where many of the same kinds of things exist, but in different form. For example, Meituan, which is like, the closest way of putting it the Chinese Groupon, but if Groupon was executing at $100 billion, $200 billion scale. So they're very competent. Like if Groupon and DoorDash and so on and so forth all became integrated into one amazing kind of app, right? The point about the Chinese tech ecosystem is because they arose in a low-trust society, they don't have SaaS, not in the same way that we do. Instead, because if, oh, my data's on their servers, they're probably eavesdropping on me, right? My data's on their servers, they're probably going to copy my stuff, right? They just assume that the other guy on their side is going to look at their stuff unless it's like their close friend or something like that. And so because of that, everybody codes their own stuff, which obviously has a frictional cost to it, right? Because trust reduces transaction costs. However, so they have to rebuild, they have to reinvent the wheel over and over again. They have less …”

AI is transforming the internet to resemble the Chinese tech ecosystem, where companies operate in a low-trust environment. This shift leads to a rise in internal tool development, as firms feel the need to build rather than buy due to concerns about data security.

“… that other things are breaking now And I think anyone who worked at companies that have gone through rapid growth you think like Facebook or Uber or DoorDash early on they understand this viscerally where scaling this much just brings a lot of challenges. So if you think about each of those categories on acquisition, on activation, on monetization, there's just a ton of firefighting jumping from one urgent thing to another. and it's often like extremely painful and and like it's funny because you look at all the charts all the charts are like green like fully up into the right and everyone's just …”
“I think then the probably the big differences is I would say that like roughly 70 percent of what I spend my time on is what we internally refer to as success disasters. And that is where like things have gone so well that other things are breaking now And I think anyone who worked at companies that have gone through rapid growth you think like Facebook or Uber or DoorDash early on they understand this viscerally where scaling this much just brings a lot of challenges. So if you think about each of those categories on acquisition, on activation, on monetization, there's just a ton of firefighting jumping from one urgent thing to another. and it's often like extremely painful and and like it's funny because you look at all the charts all the charts are like green like fully up into the right and everyone's just like it's it can be quite tough emotionally still and so you need to sort of step back and just realize like we're very lucky to have these problems but that's sort of 70 percent of my time i'd say is just these like firefighting of success disasters and i think the 30 percent remaining is just much more standard bread and butter growth work where …”

“… responsible in any way or two years when you were looking for a job and no one's hiring even though everyone was hiring anyone. I was doing like DoorDash in that time period so it wasn't like Well that's not three hours of it per day if that area. Well, she's doing something. Maybe more than that. You're suggesting she was only staying home. I'd leave it anywhere between 9 and 11, and then I'd come home at 4.35-ish. How are you guys able to have this lifestyle that you want when in the interview, again, before this, when you weren't there, he's saying, oh my goodness, it is so annoying how she's …”
“… And I was making some money. but I would come home the house wasn't clean, dishes were stacking up in the sink. Why aren't you doing shit? Pure laziness at that point honestly. That seems to be the reality currently that you getting another job or being responsible in any way or two years when you were looking for a job and no one's hiring even though everyone was hiring anyone. I was doing like DoorDash in that time period so it wasn't like Well that's not three hours of it per day if that area. Well, she's doing something. Maybe more than that. You're suggesting she was only staying home. I'd leave it anywhere between 9 and 11, and then I'd come home at 4.35-ish. How are you guys able to have this lifestyle that you want when in the interview, again, before this, when you weren't there, he's saying, oh my goodness, it is so annoying how she's constantly asking for everything. And then you said independently, it's so annoying how he's always saying no for everything I'm asking for. That's because she has a bad habit in five minutes bringing up 10 different things we can spend money on. and Ed's stressed out with everything else. We've got to spend, I got to pay bills. We have a wedding …”
