The saddest “Just Ship It” story

I had to learn this as well and realized this in my last company that you can build something which already exists.

Mentally speaking: I have optimized my thinking on not doing things twice, not being wasteful, lean, reusing components etc.

If it is solved, there is little reason why i would/should solve it again and yes from a pure thinking perspective, it would make sense to pool all resources together to have one car brand.

The same with a Toaster. Make one good Toaster, make it slightly configurable so you have choices in color and thats it.

This type of efficient thinking is why i get paid.

Or just do better marketing, or a better supply chain, or lower cost to manufacture. Or make it specialized and only toast bagels.

One car brand or toaster brand would slow down innovation and we’d end up with a much worse version of what it could be.
