There is no single right answer or path forward, but there is one right way to frame the problem.

During the early stages of an industry, when the functionality and reliability of a product isn't yet adequate to meet customer's needs, a proprietary solution is almost always the right solution - because it allows you to knit all the pieces together in an optimized way.

The best way to find out whether you're on the right path? Stop looking at the path.

The way to fix a problem is not to go forward, but to find a way around it. The answer isn't always straight forward.

There are direct paths to a successful career. But there are plenty of indirect paths, too. So many young people I speak to nowadays think that the only way to get to such a career is by the direct path; but that really only makes sense in certain circumstances.

I try to do things the right way.
