First you think the bottleneck is money, then you think the bottleneck is talent, and if you persist long enough in trying to throw money and talent at your problem, you realize that the bottleneck is ideas.

This isn't to say that money and talent aren't powerful movers, only that they can be used ineffectively indefinitely if you're not throwing them at good ideas, and it's all too easy to say "welp, I guess that just wasn't enough money/people."

There's a theory that human history can be divided into waves defined by their resource bottleneck. First was hunting/gathering, and the bottleneck was available prey. Next was agriculture, and the bottleneck was land. Third, industrial, the bottleneck was workers.

And now we're in the information age, and the bottleneck is information. Doodles and flowcharts and programs and whiteboard diagrams. In the first wave, the best hunter near the largest herds dominated. In the second, the land owners dominated. Then the factory owners.
