- This week, we’re breaking down Paul Graham’s famous essay, Do Things that Don't Scale ( www.paulgraham.com/ds.html ). All product people have read this essay. If you haven’t, you better watch this video now. Graham, a co-founder of Y Combinator, published this essay ten years ago, but it’s still highly relevant today.
Doing things that don’t scale seems counter-intuitive when building a business, but giving your product the jump start it needs is necessary. Whether you’re a startup founder or a product manager launching a new feature or product, you need to do things that don’t scale to get your first users and feedback so that you can make your product the best it can be.

THE QUALITYYYY!!!!!! It just blew my mind. The presentation, editing, lightning, camera angles, and the explanation with humor. This channel will blew up soon.
Thanks, I'll let my unpaid editor/husband know he's not fired and to expect more work soon.

Thanks for big complement!
This is such a well done video. Clean editing, great humor, perfect presentation. Well done!
Thanks, SoulLevelOne!
I have a long history in startup product delivery, where it's often challenging to find people who really grok this space, so it's both awesome and refreshing to see someone with such amazing credentials sharing their knowledge! Looking forward to binge watching the rest of your videos 😊
Thanks, Jon!
This video deserves more views. It encapsulates how to hustle as a startup founder but does so in an engaging and fun way. Awesome job presenter.
Thank you @HL !!
This is so lovely. The presentation makes a 10 minute video feel like a 2 minute video.
Thanks for the positive vibes!
The production value. The humour, the presentation and finally the insights that are delivered. You're knocking it out of the park!!! And unlike other creators, you are practising what you preach. Subbed!!
Thanks for the sub and nice comment @ankush
Awesome video Sondra. I love this Paul Graham essay. But distilling these principles into something visual and engaging is amazing. Thanks for putting it together and sharing it with us.
Thanks for the super nice comment @mason !
So good. Thank you so much for breaking this down. Super helpful!
Loved the Product Vector Insight: In order to build scalable products, you need to do hard non-scalable things in the beginning! Thank You.
Thanks Harrsha!
