How do I get my job done in less time? And maybe don't tell my boss about that. Yeah, especially if you're working from home. Yeah. This was actually where cloud computing came from. So way back in the early days of tech, I used to be able to run 10 computers at a time. And I started a part of the group that held Google's first servers and the Facebook's first servers. The company grew to $36 billion in market value. And I made $6 million when I was 26. I lost it when I was 28. But during that time, we built the systems that let one person manage 10,000 computers, the early versions of cloud computing. That's changed world, but all it was was guys like me. It sucks to have to keep updating all these computers. Can't we make it easier? Right. So it's this idea. Do less work and you can make billions of dollars by doing less work. And you will not make billions of dollars by working hard. If you combine good technologies, good techniques, and hard work, you can be phenomenally successful.
