ALT "I thought, 'Wow if one person who doesn't even really know that much about programming can affect such a change with just a little bit of programming skills, imagine what I could do if I actually learned to code properly,' so I did that." – Quincy Larson, Founder, freeCodeCamp.org
ALT "So, you know, what I always say is a React web developer can successfully work on a React Native app. But I don't think they have the skills yet to lead that initiative because there's just so much to the mobile ecosystem that needs to be learned." – Stephen Hanson, Director of Mobile Development, thoughtbot
ALT "When it's people's money, you have to be very, very dialed into that. You still have to be able to move fast, but you have to show the protection and the safety that people have because it is impactful to their lives.

It helps you not make as many mistakes." – Charity Majors, CTO and Co-Founder, Honeycomb.io.
ALT "In order for a business to be really successful, they have to have the organization's support to do what they do best. You know, what I used to tell my operations team was that you know, we were really the plumbers of the organization, making sure that everything ran smoothly behind the scenes." – Agnes Malatinszky, Founder, Senga
ALT "The only way that I've done this for 20 years is day by day. Like, each day, you get up, and you approach each day...And now, over thousands of days, it's been 20 years. And I think that that is part of why at least I've been able to do this so long is I don't do a lot of dwelling on what happened yesterday." – Chad Pytel, CEO, and Founder, thoughtbot
ALT "I just had a goal. And I knew if I could teach myself to code...and it was about 17 weeks it took me from zero to ship a Ruby on Rails app. And I felt confident enough to talk about it. I knew basically anything I could just accomplish just by putting some effort and consistency behind it." – Brian Douglas, CEO of OpenSauced.
