<p>A couple of years ago, I read this cool article about how humans tend to solve problems by adding things. Training wheels are a perfect example - we add these extra wheels to help kids learn how to ride bikes. But there's actually a less obvious approach that involves taking things away, and the article explored this concept across different areas.<p>I'm from Uruguay, and here we have something really cool called a "Chivita" - it's basically a wooden bike without pedals that toddlers use. Kids learn to balance on two wheels before they ever touch a regular bicycle. When my 5-year-old moved from the Chivita to a real bike, it only took just a couple of tries. Its amazing! 
If you're curious, just Google "Chivitas bikes Uruguay" to see what they look like! (Chivito is our traditional sandwich so you might get false hits ;))</p>

<p>Sometimes someone caring about details is what makes everything better.<p>Nobody is going to choose their product just because their API Keys.<p>But they are generating a halo effect. Is like going to a restaurant with outstanding bathrooms. If they put a lot of care in that, you immediately assume they do the same in all the other aspects of their product/service.</p>
