Imagine if Steve Jobs was starting today, that famous super bowl advert from 1984 would allude to Apple, instead of IBM...


It's the cycle of most companies that are successful.

Start as the rebel/upstart being more bold, fighting the system, disrupting, until they become big enough to become the system.

It's just different games, as a startup you can't behave like a big corporation, so you use that strength to your advantage, as you get huge, you can't act like a more reckless upstart.


... Ouch.

Not wrong.
