Being CEO means making decisions all the time. You don’t always have time to think about them and not making a decision is actually making a decision.

I still have a lot to learn about the business side of things, and not a lot of time to learn them.
I miss writing code full-time. I miss the order of write, test, debug, repeat. Management is unpredictable and messy.
Comfort Eagle is Cake‘s best album.
