Short excerpt from a YouTube video by Peter Vander Wall offering hiring advice: a major "green flag" is a candidate's agency and ability to use first-principles thinking rather than asking only how to start. Speaker A cites Elon Musk's rule—to put back at least 10% of what you remove from processes—as an example of deliberate simplification; recommends regularly questioning and cutting rituals or steps that don't serve the outcome, and restoring them if found necessary.

A good sign. Someone will make it. They start, then ask how. They don't ask how to start. This is a huge green flag when you're talking about bringing somebody onto the team. How much agency do they have, how much ability do they have to kind of step out of their programming or the way they think things are supposed to be done and get back to first principles on the way things actually could be done? Elon Musk has this great line about, if you're not putting back at least 10% of the stuff you remove from your processes, then you're not cutting out enough stuff. And if you look at Elon's rocket engines versus anyone else's, you can clearly see the difference. They're so simple. The way we go through life needs to be the same way. You got to ask yourself every once in a while, why do I do stuff this way? Is this actually what's serving me? And if it's not, cut it out. If it is, you keep it. And maybe sometimes you cut it out and you realize, like, oh, it was actually really important that I did this this way, and you put it back, and that's totally okay.
