In his essay “You weren’t meant to have a boss”, Paul Graham argues that humans evolved for hunter-gatherer-sized groups—eight being the ideal number. This implies that startups are the ideal place for programmers—the structure of large companies just prevents you from getting much done. Graham’s essay is joined by many authors critiquing the scale of modernity. James C. Scott’s "Seeing Like a State" notes how 1800s bureaucrats attempted to impose process on the land, planting the single fastest growing tree species in a grid—and were met with rampant forest fire and disease. These authors make an excellent point. You can get a lot done as an eight-person team (Mercury launched with a team of nine), and imposing too much structure can be fatal. At the same time, the tension these authors ride up against is that scale has clearly won out: Graham’s Y Combinator now employs over 80 people, and the best permaculturist can’t compete with modern tree farms. Your job as an...

In 1940, German submarines sank more than twelve hundred British ships. Without regular shipments of food, the British Isles would starve. They needed a new strategy. Surprisingly, the strategy didn't come from the sailors engaged in the day-to-day of combat with German U-boats—it came from eight women from the Women's Royal Navy Service. With the help of former ship captain Gilbert Roberts, who trained them on the practical capabilities of the ships and submarines, they ran wargames that revealed the British seriously misunderstood German tactics: they had assumed the U-boats would attack from outside the shipping convoy; in actuality they waited for the convoy to pass over them, and attacked from the stern. The women—nicknamed the Wrens—developed new strategies for fighting the submarines, overcoming skepticism when 18-year old Janet Okell five times defeated a British admiral in submarine wargames. The tactics they developed were extremely successful, and they trained over...

Have you ever stood on the edge of a cliff and felt an inexplicable urge to leap? The French call this phenomenon l’appel du vide . The call of the void.  More scientifically, this impulse has been studied and is referred to as the “high places phenomenon.” Neuroscientists tell us that the fleeting impulse actually results from safety signals firing in the brain. In other words, the call of the void is actually the human mind protecting its host – a reaffirmation of the innate human will to survive. Compliance can serve a similar function at high-growth technologies – protecting the company through phases of growth and exploration, and also reaffirming the company’s will to live. Especially in highly regulated industries, Compliance can become a critical pathway enabling the company not only to survive, but to thrive.  Mercury is an organism that is constantly growing, adapting, innovating, and evolving. Our talented team of over 400 has come together to...

It’s 1813 and Humphrey Davy is dazzling London with scientific demonstrations and lectures. Soon enters the young bookbinder, Michael Faraday, dissatisfied with his own prospects and enamored by the mysteries of electricity. Faraday gets a break and gains apprenticeship with Davy, and shortly thereafter (partially) blows himself and Davy up in a nitrogen trichloride explosion. We think Davy’s sacrifice was worth it, though, since Faraday went on to do experimental work in the field of electromagnetism that is foundational to innumerable modern technologies. While we can’t promise you’ll become the next Faraday, we can promise you won’t be asked to deal with explosives on the job. Instead, you’ll be receiving mentorship from experienced engineers, writing TypeScript and/or Haskell code, and contributing to a product that serves over 100,000 businesses.
