Uber's Secret Weapon
Ever wonder what me and my team do all day? Read about it in this article.
Unbundled
How the breaking apart of traditional, rigid structures is creating a personalized, on-demand future and changing the everyday interactions of people, politics, and profit.
About this post
This post is based on a theory and a book outline I’ve been chipping away at since 2010. Since I’m probably going to be too busy to ever finish the full thing, I figured I would massively truncate and post it here so that it’s finally out in the world in some form. In the six years I’ve been thinking about this subject, it’s only become clearer with the advent of the on-demand economy, 3D printing etc. Please excuse the length!
Introduction
In Silicon Valley we’ve used the term “Unbundling” to describe the phenomena of mobile apps breaking apart into multiple separate apps, each essentially providing more focused, single purpose features. Think of the Facebook app being separated into Facebook + Messenger.
I believe this Unbundling phenomena is happening almost universally across all aspects of life. It’s a meta-trend that has been happening for decades (or more) and will continue for decades to come. It’s a common process affecting many of the things happening in the world today. In fact most of the major disruptions we see (loss of traditional jobs, failing record companies, terrorism, divorce rates, the rise of fringe/underdog political candidates etc) are all, in at least some way, connected to this fundamental transition.
Best Food App: UberEats
UberEats is seriously the best food app. And I'm not just saying that because I work at Uber.
It has all the best features of all the other apps (glossy photos of the food, great selection of high quality restaurants) but it also has things I've always wanted like quick delivery times to my door, a section highlighting your regular restaurants at the top level and highlighting your "go to" meals for each restaurant. It even allows me to rate each part of the meal and service which is awesome! Simple but powerful improvements I've always wanted.
