It's not separate from your product made of curly brackets - it's one and the same thing." — Luca Ingianni"Typing is not the bottleneck. It's the problem solving. This is a method of problem solving together faster." — Chris Lucian"If you get the whole system in the room and in the same mob, things just start cranking. You're not waiting for anything because everyone you need is there." — Austin ChadwickFind the Mob Mentality Show at https://mobmentalityshow.podbean.com/
