I don't know how many people remember the Lean Startup movement and Steve Blank's book "Four Steps to the Epiphany" which is about how to take one's product hypotheses and rigorously validate them before scaling up. But somewhere there's a side note that basically said, "If we end up in another bubble, ignore all of this, because in a bubble being careful and capital-efficient isn't a great strategy."

I think about that a lot these days given the absolute oceans of capital sloshing around. I'm glad you got a piece of it! But this is a really weird way to redistribute excess wealth.
