The “default”(for lack of better term) posts are a little cheesy on the philo tip, but I think it’s a cool idea. Replace them with quotes from interesting, lesser-known literature, and they’ll have something.

The reason is quite obvious and simple: speed. Without the investment, we weren’t able to hire people as fast as we did and focus fully on the product without worrying about money all the time.

Bingo !
