I wonder how many successful businesses this guy founded, created a culture of success, and handed it off to other people to see the company continue to grow.
I am guessing the number is pretty darn close to "0".
Because that is the only sort of "wisdom" I care about in this context; Success in making businesses.
Every business is different. Size matters. Bureaucracies don't scale.
Thinking that some self-reported information from a Dutch insurance firm is going to provide guidance to a auto manufacturer, Waffle House, or flooring manufacturer is like believing that all you need to do to make a sqlite database scale is by increasing the cpu count for your server linearly with database sizes.
Works fast with 1 core and 100MB database? Then it'll work exactly the same with a 32 core server and 3200MB database.
