When Breath Becomes Air

“Because I work a lot, I try to read things that are completely outside of work. I don't think I can get through any fiction or nonfiction book that's often recommended.

For a period of time at Ramp, we created OKRs with financial goals and quotas to some extent for different teams. And that led to just taking a long time to plan because people were trying to make sure there was the right metric, trying to make sure that it was achievable.
