📈 Scaling

We often think of scaling as growing a company's size or the number of units sold/deployed/etc. That is one way to provide value to the world.

However, there are other ways to scale:

  • improving the experience
  • improving reliability/security
  • new markets
  • deploying updates to existing systems
  • better customer support
  • giving users more control/flexibility/customization
  • higher profit margins

Think carefully about this as scaling in one dimension often limits how far you can scale in another.
