“Something that I heard early on is that there's a staggering lack of kind people in tech, and I think that's still true. I think it was maybe more true now. I think that there are just nicer people in the world in general now, but I think that it's very true that you can go really far by just not being a jerk and just being someone that people don't hate being around.” – Michael Chan
