On get rich quick

2. A lot of the business opportunity programs that are out there are just get rich quick schemes. All these make a million dollars guys in Lambos and ripped jeans.

On devs

3. I am a shitty developer okay but I know enough and I was hiring developers, outsourcing dev. And I can speak the language well enough to tell them what needed to be built.

On SaaS

4. I realised there's a better business model than project based development which is SaaS and I thought man I can just repurpose all this understanding that I have to build it for my own website and then I can open source it to other people in the Shopify community.

On software dev

5. With software the product is changing every day. It's also talking to other products other code bases that are changing so you need front-end engineers back-end engineers, project managers, UX designers, you know you just need crazy amount of the the product itself.
