「 scale しないことをやる」って言葉だけだと文脈がいまいちわかりづらいよなと思ってた。これは4ページの漫画で説明されていてわかりやすいと思う

• The story is that the decision to "not do it because it doesn't scale" is a fallacy.
  • Thinking, "Let's just do what scales," leads to thin relationships. - Trade-off between depth and breadth of cooperation : The wider the breadth, the thinner the trade-off.
  • It is more beneficial to build "deeper relationships" that do not scale first

meeting the user.

• When I saw Takahiro Yasuno meeting and listening to voters in the Tokyo Gubernatorial Election 2024, I thought "Oh, this is "doing things that don't scale", "going to meet users"".
