Stitch Fix is using something called eigenvector decomposition, a concept from quantum mechanics, to tease apart the overlapping “notes” in an individual’s style. Using physics, the team can better understand the complexities of the clients’ style minds. wired.trib.al/IvWQkYM

when you’re a leader in a software company, you get a band of autists that barely listen to you and take 4 months per year of mental health leave. when you’re a leader in something like construction you get an army of strong guys who call you boss and might beat up your enemies

idea: a gameshow called Imposter Syndrome where you take 10 senior developers and tell them that one of them is actually just a sales guy who's been taught to say DevOps buzzwords. to win, they have to figure out who the fake dev is. the trick: there is no sales guy
