Misleading title. Blitzscaling is just about a specific strategy for growth; it has almost nothing to do with the main point of the article: oversupply of office space removes future plans for office space, and eventually makes your office supply very scarce and therefore valuable.

We’ll see how it plays out in the next few years, but I wouldn’t be surprised to see companies slow down R&D to capture profitability. In 5 years they may be too slow to innovate
