The Exchanges

Every argument clarity score on this site is built from rows on this page. Each question and answer was assessed with names hidden, the host's own answers included, on four things from 1 to 5: directness (does it answer the question asked), coherence (do the ideas follow), precision (concrete details and clear references), compression (says a lot per word). The weighted mix (30/30/25/15) is the exchange score. A person's published score averages their exchange scores on raw tape only, at least 8 of them, shrunk toward the cohort mean. Full method →

Every exchange below was scored with names hidden, four dimensions each from 1 to 5. An exchange's score is 0.30·directness + 0.30·coherence + 0.25·precision + 0.15·compression. The published score averages the raw tape exchange scores and shrinks small samples toward the cohort mean, so five great answers can't beat twenty good ones. Produced feed rows count only toward coarse estimates, never toward a full score.

Q I mean, so people listening are going to go, wait, why did he just shut this down? Why didn't he try and at least flip it or sell it? Why did you not try to do that?

A Oh, man. Okay. So, you know, this is the, uh, the journey of hard knocks. I mean, learning by doing, there's an old Hebrew phrase that says, Asash Shema, by doing we will understand. And so we understood very clearly, uh, very early on that digital tasks and, you know, we, we started, I kind of have to take you through the story. So if you humor me for a second here, so back in summer, it was the idea of the epiphany moment. And I have a long medium post about the whole thing, so I'm sure you can link to that or whatnot. And so the back to 2010 is the idea came to me driving along the road, had that moment, you know, the, the idea that you could do a better job of outsourcing tasks from your mobile device and push stuff off to somebody somewhere in the cloud. And at this time, TaskRabbit, who I'm sure you've heard of, was also in the formation process, as was TopTal, which I later ended up running their growth team for a while.
