"The theme of Brian's talk was that the conventional wisdom about how to run larger companies is mistaken. As Airbnb grew, well-meaning people advised him that he had to run the company in a certain way for it to scale."
I looked up this company Airbnb. I always used VRBO, which predates Airbnb by over a decade. I booked entire houses months in advance for extended stays.
According to this blog post Airbnb grew. But the stock is down over 8% even after the latest market rally. What's going on.
The question I have is what Airbnb grew into. The company has been around for a while. I let Big Tech show me the latest news. I did not ask for negative news, just any news.
Below is what I got. I must be missing why this Airbnb CEO is doing a good job and is worth listening to in spite the company's name appearing in all of this bad press.
It goes on. The reply will likely be "The reason is ... and this has nothing to do with Airbnb. Airbnb is doing fine. I love Airbnb. And so on." This is a forum sponsored by the Silicon Valley VC firm that financed Airbnb so I expect HN commenters will defend the company's actions or inaction.
