Your career compounds around the problems you solve.

Vertical companies (insurance AI, finance AI, healthcare AI) build deep industry expertise.

Horizontal companies (Replit, Meta, etc) build breadth across many problem spaces.

Depth vs breadth. Both compound differently.

Who is in your Hall of Fame for profitability & efficiency in fintech & big-tech?

Visa tops the list: it’s business model is inherently efficient offloading all of the regulated financial operations to its clients (who lag near the bottom).

Meta, Google and Apple have wild swings in profits but the 5-yr average is very strong.

The chart was a fun collaboration with @jevgenijs (check out his amazing posts!) and arose from New Year’s eve conversation about corporate efficiency.

One question we had: As AI augments human capital where will profits/employee be in 5 years?
