What made different working at Stripe Thread

I recently left Stripe after 4.5 formative and magical years. Some reflections on what made working at Stripe feel different than working other places:
1/Turpentine
2/Writing
3/Meticulousness
4/Principled decision-making
5/Ambition
6/Talking up
7/The API metaphor

Great Thread on Quality & Contrarianism

Spend more time on differences in operating model (or business model) and nuanced patterns associated with high returns (example small % of customer costs but mission critical) vs general 'moats', ie spend more time on the actual operating intricacies
