We have a core feature offering that is very strong. A small feature idea comes up that serves a subset of the market, but it isn’t too hard to do and it isn’t a bad thing, so we indulge.

Andrew Bosworth • Focus

Yes is a responsibility.
Be careful what (and who) you say yes to. It will shape your day, your career, your family, your life.”
