fundamentally, scale breaks things
family < 25
organisations can be like a family
and then they hit about 25 people
and it starts to get really complicated
now you need structure and hierarchy
plus you're not all friends anymore
?? < 150
you can still all know everybody's name
you can still refer to people
you'll max out at about 150
and then it get's really complicated
Quote: humans aren’t made for scale
scale just breaks things for human beings
we're just not made for it
