QUOTES:
“Being a product developer, you don’t always have a perfect environment to be able to achieve excellence. There’s always some form of compromise that you have to make.” [5:40]
“Effective solving of problems that seem impossible requires quick experimentation. Don’t be hung up on getting the right answer, but plot a path of trial, failing, start again, but do it quickly and take opportunities to validate what we do.” [13:14]
“Being non-technical forces us to speak a common language that a four-year-old can understand.” [26:25]
“When you follow data, it’s very hard to make wrong decisions.” [31:37]
