"One of the temptations for a founder is to sell the tech. That’s not what you are selling. You are selling something that solves a very specific customer pain. We’ve seen many blockchain startups excited about the tech without really solving a problem." - @gvrooyen at #SAIC19

More from the @OfferZen dev survey: With the need for more developers in the country, I'm excited about people from wider demographics learning to code. The great thing about coding is you can reskill to it later in life, and you don't need a degree. See e.g. @project_codeX.
