>Give me 10 motivated, aligned high-quality people, 5 years, and all of us room to focus, and I'll build you a better Google, almost guaranteed.

Is this unique to you, or can others do the same with the same 10 people?

If not unique to you, how come 7 billion people on the planet have not been able to do this over the past 25 years? Certainly this many people of that caliber get together often enough to do this, right?

If unique to you, then you really need to just find one person in that 7 billion to fund you so we can see another trillion dollar company get built in 5 years by 10 people.

Or, third option, this isn't reality, and you're missing some understanding of the issues involved.

Or the fourth option is that my post exactly outlined the issues involved, and you somehow missed that part.

Hint: They're human, not technical.


So with people that don't exist you can do the impossible? Anyone can do that.


No, that's the point. The people do exist, and aren't even uncommon. What doesn't exist -- at least replicably -- are the organizational structures around those people.


So more non-existent things? This entire discussion is oddly circular. Given <thing which does not exist> I can do thing <which cannot be done>.

We can all do that, so I agree. If I had enough magic to make a better google, then I can make a better google.

If 1=0, I can make unlimited money.

If I had 2 supermans and 0.75 batmans, I can stop all crime.

Yep. Checks out.
