Smaller teams are better than big teams.

Naval Ravikant, on the Joe Rogan podcast JRE 1309, says we can educate people very quickly.

One of these myths we have is that adults can't be re-educated, when in fact they can.

There are great boot camps, coding schools, and a wealth of info on the Internet if you know how to search.

You don’t even need a lot of people to get a lot of work done. Naval refers to Ronald Coase, The Nature of the Firm, and how companies tend to be happier when they are smaller.

Coase believes that firms should assess and balance the costs and benefits of internal “transactions" versus external “transactions.”

Smaller teams means less transactions internally. Study groups does better when they are smaller. Work groups might do better too.

THE TAKEAWAY: Smaller teams are better than big teams.
