Meta CTO, and very long-time (since 2006) Facebook employee Andrew Bosworth, wrote a one of the best blog posts I read in a long time called Focus. Just read it.

There is enormous value in being incredibly focused (and right) and saying no to reasonable things.

He also nailed the description of early days in a startup. They are brutal and fun at the same time.

Maybe he was channeling Meta at large, who announced $9 billion in cuts (versus earlier plan) to both general expenses and capital expenditures in 2023.
