In their words

  • I was very skeptical at first. But I’m amazed at what I’ve learned.
  • All these ideas I’ve had, I can actually go ahead and make them now.
  • It feels like being a manager with a super-smart friend.
  • I appreciated the freedom to build it myself.
  • This is exactly the kind of thinking I want to have more of.
