in the past I have worked in the product cycle at a silicon valley company a little bit and I just can't imagine anyone I met ever getting to the next step being "tell the customers the new product is marginally better at 15-30x the current price" and then actually doing that instead of cancelling releases, fire-drill meetings all week to change paths as soon as possible, etc. unless they already did that?

"bonkers" is right.

I feel like only a rationalist comment section can be wrong in this fractal way. It's the LessWrong house style I suppose?
