The next thing I want to learn is to understand what it takes to make products that scale well and a lot of people can use them, it was a question posed by one of the mentors and the solutions we had were clearly not good enough. This has to run inexpensively to benefit.

Never knew writing a good linkedin post is so difficult 😭
