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.

Q So how does that work? If they're Not physically in the same place.
A Our design team and our product management team, you know, they, these folks are mostly active in the late evenings. Their morning starts later than our business development team. So the vibrative hours between our product team and the development team in Shanghai are actually quite, like, overlapped quite, quite well in the evenings. So just to, to give an example, right, we have our daily team meetings at 6:30 PM Pacific time, which is 10:30 AM in Shanghai. So, so between six 30 to roughly like eight PM, it's where we have meetings every day and that goes through, uh, all the development progress, uh, we think on different like issues, bugs or features, et cetera, releases and all that. And then even after that meeting is done, uh, you know, into the late evening until like one AM, two AM, et cetera, which is roughly six PM. Uh, by two AM it will be six PM in Shanghai. All that time is the collaborative time between our product development team in Shanghai and our product management folks here.

Q ecosystem in a given country, let's say Vietnam, for example, they generally are not building for a global audience. I don't just see this in Vietnam. I also see this in Japan and Korea and Philippines and most Southeast Asian countries that I look at. Do you think that's going to change? Do you think we'll see more countries in Southeast Asia trying to take on a more global role?
A I think so. I think it really comes down to kind of the business opportunities that's available for them to capture, I guess, in the near term versus, you know, more mid to long term, right? So if say in a local market where there is a tremendous amount of opportunities, They should grab those local market first, thrive and do really well, and, uh, and then continue to kind of expand, uh, you know, to kind of more distant markets, right? So I think one of, um, one of such examples, it's a company called Shopee. So Shopee is a company, you know, that focused, you know, quite a bit in their local market first before expanding to kind of more widely in Southeast Asia. And I think we'll, we'll start to see more of those companies.

Q So when you hire people in Shanghai, are you only hiring Chinese nationals or are you also hiring foreigners living in China too?
A Great question. We hire anyone that's capable. For example, you know, we have iOS developers, Android developers, web developers, backend developers, et cetera. Now we have a list of, you know, roles we need to fill, and we go through, uh, you know, recruiting channels to, to acquire the best talent. So some of these talents, you know, are expats returning to China. Some of them are foreign natives. Some of them are, you know, natives based in China. And particularly for what we are doing is that we're looking for folks who have experiences in social media, building, you know, live streaming or e-commerce apps before and have experiences operating in this space. And quite fortunate that we're able to put together a kind of a stellar team while having those pretty strict requirements on what we need. And some of our team members are expats who has studied and lived abroad for many, many years and has returned to China, and we're very fortunate to be able to, ah, to have them joining our team.

Q So, what's something that, uh, you've learned recently that you want to implement?
A I guess two things. I thought it's really interesting that I, I've been doing. One, it's, uh, meditation. Uh, something that I just picked up and, uh, it, it helps your day to be really efficient. Essentially, 20 minutes in the morning, 20 minutes in the afternoon, It's kind of like a big energy booster. Yeah. And I actually think meditation is really, really fun. Um, you know, it's a lot more than I, I initially anticipated. And the second thing I think it's reading. So growing up reading, it's, it's something that, you know, we're all very familiar with. I think Elon Musk said something where like you can be an expert in anything that you do. Uh, you just requires three things, you know, read more books. Right. So now I'm a firm believer in that actually. Um, You know, if I want to get smarter about marketing, if I want to get smarter about human resources, et cetera, you know, there are plenty of kind of, uh, literature, uh, and books that's out there that actually help helps me to, uh, know, to, to, to get smarter, essentially absorb a lot of the experiences, uh, you know, from, from folks that came before. And that is really cool. So I would say the two of the things that I've been doing more recently, it's reading and meditation.
