Today’s newsletter is a collaboration with Aakash (Affirm, ex- Google, Epic Games). The publication Netflix: Lessons in Experimentation is originally hosted on Aakash Gupta’s newsletter.

Humanity has evolved over the years to optimise for progress. Malcolm Gladwell popularised the 10,000 hour rule - focusing that you need deliberate practice to excel in any field. However, research later suggested this rule is flawed because it only explains for a small portion of performance improvement and it varies field to field:

So maybe the 10,000 hour rule should be 10,000 insights rule? But how do you get insights? The trigger for daily insights has to be experimentation… in-fact deliberate experimentation.

Today, Facebook, Netflix and Booking.com have perfected the 10,000 experiment rule (and not 10,000 hour rule) which moves the thinking from deliberate practice to deliberate reflection. These companies run 1000s of experiments everyday to get insights and then run more experiments the next day.
