what did tumblr do other than not fuck up the formula?
I presume what they did was scale it up enormously, which doesn't look like much from the user's side of things, but takes a lot of management skill. Also, not fucking up the formula requires an understanding of what it was about the formula that works and what would fuck it up; the urge to fuck up the formula is not easy to resist, because it always presents itself in the guise of becoming more awesome, or more sellable, or more (insert desirable trait).

Aimless is right--Tumblr refined the blog in quite a few ways but yes scaling (and keeping performance metrics) were high on the list of accomplishments. Mainly I would suspect the management skill was managing engineers and sys arch people. 175 employees is no easy task, not to mention 100million visitors. Tumblr found the sweet spot and kept adding users (until last November, when they started to lose them).

i'm told that the vanderbilt ad is also the vice chancellor, so i guess that makes a little more sense
― mookieproof, Thursday, 23 May 2013 20:55 (thirteen years ago)
point of the map is that we should all aspire to be coaches on the college level.
where is the fucking reality show for that?

when we meet irl, ask me again
― markers, Sunday, 26 May 2013 14:24 (thirteen years ago)
the short answer is yes
From 2000 to 2012, the annual production of master’s degrees jumped 63 percent, federal data show, growing 18 percentage points more than the output of bachelor’s degrees. It is a sign of a quiet but profound transformation underway at many prominent universities, which are pouring more energy into job training than ever before.
interesting way to put it
