There is one thing where engineering and organisation building differ though, even at the high-level: available sources and trusted guides, and iteration speed.

There is one thing where engineering and organisation building differ though, even at the high-level: available sources and trusted guides, and iteration speed. For something that is such a common problem, that basically every company has to solve, there is astonishingly little factual guidance out there on how to scale an organisation and what scale requires what type of infrastructure. And all entrepreneurs have to reinvent the wheel to a large extend. There is this saying that farming is one of the hardest jobs, because you only have 30-40 tries to get the perfect harvest. But being an entrepreneur cuts it to 6-8 tries to get the organization right.
