Insight
Simple and easy are not the same in software development
“You've now just installed thousands of complex files when yes, it would be a little harder for you to just make your own HTML page from scratch, but notice that by definition, that's simpler. So simple is not always easy.”

Insight
Mullenweg: Successful platforms capture only 5% of ecosystem revenue
“And I kept finding this ratio that's like 20 to one everywhere in successful platforms, not in fake platforms, like it's not on the Facebook platform. Facebook made like 90% of the dollars in that ecosystem, but in others.”
