Replying to @parkerconrad
@parkerconrad I'm curious about two aspects of the methodology BSG used in the study: 1. Did BSG adjust for industry or firm age across Rippling and Non-Rippling cohorts? Headcount norms will vary by both, would assume the Rippling cohort skews tech-adjacent, newer firms.

2. It looks like LinkedIn data was used to establish Non-Rippling headcount data. What was done to verify this data? If only LinkedIn data was used not actual company records I'd guess this dramatically overstates active HR/IT headcount of firms.

Methods don't seem robust enough to establish Rippling was true cause of 1/2 headcount. Potential stronger follow-up study: aggregate a set of pre/post case studies of real new Rippling clients to asses if they reduce headcount by X%, Y mos post onboarding. Perhaps in progress!

Good metric for company health: ratio of team time spent on customer value creating tasks vs internal admin/triangulation activity.

We’re on the precipice of a massive change in the way everything works.
Sam Altman is hesitant to release GPT-4. Demis Hassabis is hesitant to release ChatGPT competitor. Google/Meta hesitant to release Text-to-Video models. We're approaching the event horizon. Lots of game theory at play now. Can't ship too soon. Can't ship too late. AGI is coming.

Nothing makes me feel more grown up than taking three extra seconds to save a new file into its proper folder, with a sensible and searchable file name.

In an age of abundance, focus, clarity, and commitment are scarce (and thus, competitive advantages).
We're living in a commitment crisis:

"Maximize shareholder value" ≠ "maximize profits" in the long run. Post-'08 Goldman is an example. Stakeholder theory is an outgrowth of a false equivalence.

A surprising amount of people think a "public company" means a company owned by the government.

What if inflation is not a monetary phenomenon at all, but rather an emergent one fueled by self-reinforcing inflation fears amongst consumers? What if the Fed is a mimetic scapegoat we can all blame, so the fear in the system finds a release valve?

To recap: 1. Consumers are confused by ISAs 2. And when they take the deal, they often behave poorly 3. And when they behave poorly, you don't have great recourse 4. And there's a looming regulatory threat 5. And the financial markets aren't supportive
