Growth is arguably the most defining and sought-after trait of technology companies. Those line charts showing fast-rising user acquisition or explosive ARR have been synonymous with the industry over the past decade. However, growth is seldom linear, as is all too clear in the current economic climate. It fluctuates, plateaus, goes up and down with each new round of funding, new competitor, new technological leap – or even a global pandemic or economic downturn.

Human progress is not measured by good enough, but by those who strive (with great sacrifice) for a more perfect misunderstanding. Versions of this thought have been part of my conversations with Peter Tunjic for the better part of twenty years. It goes in the same category with “those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it.” Consider an example of this concept in a comment about corporate governance Peter posted on a LinkedIn Group ten years ago.
