00:07:45 - Derek -  “We can't just make the developers go faster because there's simply not enough developers in the world unless we turn everybody into a developer. That was a vision.”

00:09:37 - Derek - “We like to say, you know, we have this big vision and we're all breathing ‘aha’ moment. But the reality is you try everything until something works and then you go from there.”

00:17:54 - Derek - “You can sit there and think that everybody doesn't get it or you can look in the mirror and say, maybe I'm doing something wrong.”

00:30:39 - Derek - “I was focused on creating a tribe, a family, a culture. That's ultimately what you're building”

00:34:48 - Derek - “So we said if we're going to spend the next 10 years or 20 years, whatever our lives, building this company 24 hours a day, seven days a week, we better enjoy it”

00:39:32 - Derek - “That's why you said egoless or no ego culture is so important, because egos can kill you. They prevent you from being honest with yourself sometimes”
