Deep dives

Geeks embrace speed and experimentation

One example of embracing speed and experimentation is seen in the story of Will Marshall, the CEO of Planet. They built a hover test facility for $300,000, which would not be considered a significant line item in NASA's budget. They also put a smartphone in space and successfully received an image from it, proving that affordable off-the-shelf technology can be used effectively. The geek norm of speed prioritizes iterating quickly and trying new things.
