I think you must have your own office. I don't believe ever in shared office spaces.

Where there are low consequences and you have very low confidence in your own opinion, you should absolutely delegate.

Ultimately, I don't believe that you can build a company without a lot of effort, and that you need to lead by example.

Usually when you hire more engineers, you actually don't get that much more done, you actually sometimes get less done.

I'd actually argue forging a company is far more harder than forging a product

If the Martians took over eBay it would take 6 months for the world to notice.

The office environment that people work in everyday dictates the culture that you are going to be in.
