❝   You need 3 things... to start with
    good people, to make something
    customers actually want, and to
    spend as little money as possible.

                                     ❞

❝
You keep working and you get
another brick. And then you’re
like “Ah! Now I have enough
bricks - I can do something with
these bricks!” And you have a wall.
