Once a decade or so in tech we get an industry-realigning platform shift, and today we're fortunate enough to all be living through the AI wave. When these moments occur, you have a brief period of a few years where the winners and losers will emerge in almost every category, which means you're essentially signing up to be going 24/7 during this window.

When we first started Box right at the beginning of the cloud wave, for the first couple of years until we could at least feel like we had reached a point of "survival", we worked nonstop. Coding, selling, marketing, partnering, fundraising, hiring, pivoting, launching, everything. Sure, looking back we could have avoided 16-18 hour days by avoiding the time wasted on what would ultimately be useless work, bad decisions, or strategic misadventures. If we could go back and delete them from our calendars, we'd get all that time back.  

But, it's impossible to know in the moment which is the wasted time and effort. The good decisions came as a result of pivots from the bad ones, and the misadventures only taught us how to be smarter in the future. There's basically no way we could've "worked smarter not harder" and achieved any similar outcome. And perhaps most importantly, we had a blast doing it -- sure it was straining, but we certainly wouldn't have worked that hard if we weren't at least *mostly* having fun.

Now back to AI. There's probably more change happening at an even faster pace in AI than some of the biggest prior platform shifts like cloud and mobile. In comparison to cloud and mobile, there are billions of people that instantly can use AI so the markets are larger to start; there are more major platform providers competing for prime positions in the market; and there is a far higher rate of breakthroughs that advance the state of the art.

So when you're in the middle of one of these windows like we're in with AI, the only thing you can do is just crank. It will by no means ensure success, but it will definitely improve your odds, which generally are quite low to begin with. So take every advantage you can get. And you’re not having fun doing it, you probably shouldn’t!
