Two years ago, I received my O-1 visa. It gave me work authorization in the US as an "alien of extraordinary ability".
It allowed me to move to San Francisco, the heart of the tech ecosystem to start a company, fulfilling a lifelong dream.

One of

He said that support is like a try/catch statement. Users go for the try block first, which includes the product, documentation, and examples.
If the try block fails, users move to the catch block.

Best interview advice that I have received:
Ask the candidates to describe one thing they’re really good at.
Then ask them to explain it. Look for how simply they could do it.
Truly understanding something lets you explain it to a five year old.

Jiro Ono, considered to be one of the greatest sushi chefs says “to make delicious food, you must eat delicious food”.
Building developer products is the same. To do it well, one needs to acquire the taste of what’s great.

Building something for yourself is one of the greatest advantages a company can have.
We use

Hahnbee and I started our company not on the premise of a specific idea, but serving a specific audience that think we can be excited spending 10+ years building for: developers.
Building for people that I can relate to and care about has made all the difference.
Future founders - choose a startup idea where you’ll love talking to your users every day.
One highlight of building Jam is getting to meet so many people working to change some corner of the world through software. It’s so awesome.

One very understated value of tech is that it's a positive sum game, which rewards genuinely nice people.
I'm repeatedly surprised by how giving, humble, and genuine some of the most successful people in tech are.

We took more or less the same approach to acquiring our first 10 customers as we did our very first.
Then, the path to 100 customers was also through doing a lot of things that don't scale.
