Notes
Break down complicated problems into basic elements, and reassemble them from the ground up

First-principles thinking is one of the best ways to reverse-engineer complicated situations and unleash creative possibility. Sometimes called reasoning from first principles, it’s a tool to help clarify complicated problems by separating the underlying ideas or facts from any assumptions based on them. What remains are the essentials. If you know the first principles of something, you can build the rest of your knowledge around them to produce something new.
Example
- Elon Musk và quá trình tạo tên lửa
- TLDR; for everyone else, keep it simple, remove administrative bottlenecks where you find them, go slow and manual first, automate later. Nice!
