  • The core leverage of developing software: asymptoting effort per new user to create a product they love.
    • The work to create a product the first user loves is substantial.
    • But then you have a product that other users, with just a little effort, would also love.
    • As the product gets better and better, it clears the threshold for more and more users.
    • You build the product once, but then you can sell it to any user who will love it.
    • That is the source of the leverage.
