I’ve been watching Silicon Valley lately. No! I’m not a coder. No, I don’t fully understand compression algorithms. I understand maybe 20 % of what they’re talking about the tech.
I’m at the final season now (yet to start), and what kept me going wasn’t the decentralized, open internet or the jargons. It was how often they pivoted. Everything kept revolving around that one compression algorithm, but what they built around it kept changing. Chat, platform and coin.
From the outside, it looks chaotic. Almost impulsive. People love saying, You have to move fast. Speed matters. Be it, startup, business, even life.
But here’s the part we conveniently skip. Fast decisions are not about courage and clarity alone. They’re about systems.
You can’t pivot if one wrong move breaks you. You need some cushion such as money, people, mindset, or at least the ability to sit with discomfort without spiraling. Richard had his team.
Uncertainty is always there. That’s a given.
But the more you’re exposed, the more reps you’ve done, the less scary decisions feel. You don’t become fearless. You become used to it. Palagirum! A little more grounded. A little more practical. Even calculative.
You stop waiting to feel ready. You just move, knowing you’ll figure it out later.
Maybe that’s what agency is.
Cheers
