Most tech startups suffer from a lack of focus or from running in the wrong direction. Start with the why. 🔯 Attention to detail and customer delight. 🔯 It's counterintuitive, but the best way to build "people-centric" organizations is to make the engineering "people independent". 🔯 Fail fast, Ship often. 🔯 Collaboration is the key.
