DHH: Skeptical of pure capital allocators who have never built anything
“Like, if the only thing you do is money, I'm skeptical of you. If you've built things and you've made money, let's talk. But if it's just about the money and the allocation, I don't know. I'd rather talk to some builders, and Jeff is certainly a builder.”
