Early adopters of new technologies like email and Google gained unfair information advantages that took years to level out. The speaker recommends using skills evals loops, a systematic approach to continuously develop and assess capabilities, to maximize any early lead you have.
The early days of the internet, for example, it took 5 years for people to adopt, companies to adopt using email. Okay, well, the companies that were ahead in the 5 years before that, what kind of advantage did they compound? I remember Amazon started in 1998. I was using, I think in 1999 I was using Google already and I had an unfair information advantage. Again, eventually everything kind of smooths out, but you might as well eat this advantage up all you can. And I think skills evals loops are a great way to do it.
