"If I let go of your foot, it will fall back out of the socket." Without hesitation, and in a moment of pure, stubborn will, I loudly exclaimed, "Well then you're coming up on stage with me, motherfucker!" youtu.be/GeUrSm4_cpk?t=208

Learned a lot about product pricing strategies. Good and clear description and well known examples provided.

Instead of MVP, do a RAT (Riskiest Assumption Test) to validate the most risky assumption about your future product.

Falko reviewed No Rules Rules by Reed Hastings
No Rules rule - under certain circumstances
4 stars
In my experience the book doesn’t over big revelations. You could summarize the content as: Hire smart people and let them do their job. The rest ist justifying this thesis with anecdotal evidence and some cross references to other books and other companies in the area.
Nevertheless I liked reading the book and also hearing many stories about a company like Netflix is dealing with certain things.
I would have loved if the authors elaborated more how they identify the top talents they are referring to so often. How they judge, whether their talents fail to delivery because they are not as awesome as hoped they are, or whether they are just a victim of bad circumstances?
Falko finished reading No Rules Rules by Reed Hastings
On the last page they reveal that Netflix also has certain areas where “Freedom & Responsibility” doesn’t apply. But where Process and Rules dominate 🙄

Had an epiphany today about these kind of books: they are an example of "survivor bias"
Nevertheless a good read
