1. How Ramp is the Fastest Executing Company on the Planet

Time is the most limited asset in early stage startups.

We count our days at Ramp & do a calendar audit.

This forces us to think about what creates the most leverage & prioritise those.

2. Micromanage or Hire and Get out of the Way?

It depends on the task relevant maturity of the person.

I use a 2x2 grid on conviction and consequences:

High Conviction, High Consequences: “Micromanage” closely.
High Conviction, Low Consequences: Guide first, then delegate.
Low Conviction, High Consequences: Delegate to experts.
Low Conviction, Low Consequences: Fully delegate.

3. Lesson From Brian Chesky

Most leaders should be thinking six months ahead.

Not every lever can be tuned in a week or a month.

Thinking six months ahead prepares for those levers.

4. Challenges for Ramp - What Could Go Wrong?

Hiring: Hiring the wrong people for the job.

Risk: Being too conservative & getting it wrong.

Prioritization: Lose focus on making our products best in class.

5. Lesson From Jack Dorsey

CEOs can “write” or “edit” people’s work.

They should always try and do the latter.

If you’re constantly using a lot of red lines, that’s a bad signal.

6. How Many Direct Reports is Too Many?

There is no one size fits all formula.

Andy Grove recommends 5-7, Jensen Huang is doing fine with 60.

It depends on your level of depth as an executive.

어제 저희 회사가 개발한 인공지능 파일럿 Agent가 미국 공군 장관님을 태우고 도그파이트 라는 공중전을 실제로 시연하였습니다. 공군 장관님은 저희 AI가 통제하는 VISTA라는 F16변형기종을, 다른 도그파이트 조종사는 실제 F16를 조종하였는데, 완전히 unscripted된 상황에서의 전투를 보여주었습니다. 중력의 5배 (5g) 까지의 가속을 견디어내셨고 소위 high aspect 라는 시나리오 (두 전투기가 가속으로 근접하여 스쳐가는 상황)도, 저희 AI를 백퍼 신뢰하시며 유유히 즐기셨답니다 ㅎㅎ

5년간 밑바닥에서 시작한 개발이 이제 빛을 보기 시작했습니다. 실제 전투기에 탑재될 때까지는 아직 몇 년 더 남았지만 만감이 교차하는 날이었습니다.~~

제 아들 포함하여 지난 5년간 밤낮으로 개발해 준 직원들에게 정말 감사합니다!

til, Ilya sutskever gave john carmack this reading list of approx 30 research papers and said, ‘If you really learn all of these, you’ll know 90% of what matters today.’
