The quote emphasizes the importance of assembling a skilled and intelligent team when tackling complex projects, particularly in fast-paced environments like Silicon Valley. It suggests that sheer numbers do not equate to productivity and innovation; rather, the quality and expertise of individuals matter significantly more. Hiring a smaller group of top talent can lead to more successful outcomes than relying on a large workforce with varied capabilities.

This perspective highlights the value of strategic hiring in achieving ambitious goals. By focusing on bringing together some of the brightest minds, organizations can foster creativity and efficiency, leading to the development of groundbreaking solutions in a timely manner. In high-stakes industries, the need for exceptional talent is crucial to navigate challenges effectively.

People pontificate, "Suicide is selfishness." Career churchmen like Pater go a step further and call in a cowardly assault on the living. Oafs argue this specious line for varying reason: to evade fingers of blame, to impress one's audience with one's mental fiber, to vent anger, or just because one lacks the necessary suffering to sympathize. Cowardice is nothing to do with it - suicide takes considerable courage. Japanese have the right idea. No, what's selfish is to demand another to endure an intolerable existence, just to spare families, friends, and enemies a bit of soul-searching.
