when impact and unit economics/economies of scale get conflated
this means "when u help us reduce cost per customer (by increasing # of customers w your work) u r valuable to our company"

I think a lot about how Lays chips has local branches develop flavors for each country but tech cos don't bc the unit economics of tech don't reward that
fb used to have "project japan" to create a local optimized hyper dense version - I always hoped more countries would happen

I always think about if a lot of people will like or use the things I make, and that's bc I enjoy validation (who doesn't) but it's also because I've been trained to think about things like user acquisition and the idea that certain things "aren't worth it" without scale
also AI to reduce unit costs is not the same as "boosting human potential" no matter how many VCs say it is https://twitter.com/xuhulk/status/1286321128311533569
