Okay, let’s say you have a fuel injected car, but instead of using the 02 sensor to decide the fuel air mixture, it just squirts the same amount of gas every time.

The hardware might be able to achieve 400 hp, but the software means it only ever achieves 50 hp

It’s like that. The software drives the hardware. It doesn’t matter how good the hardware is, the software is the brain of the operation - if the software doesn’t know how to utilize the hardware properly, you’re going to have piss poor performance

Driver’s? They literally drive the hardware your computer is using

Booo

I meant to delete the comment to keep things simple, but what I was going to say is something like

fine, but debt is like gambling. There’s situations where it makes sense, but it’s addictive. It’s mortgaging your own future, even when it maths out it’s a risk - shit happens

And if you over leverage and under perform, it’s over. If you can pay yourself and your employees, you’re better off never taking on debt again.

Like Wegmans. It’s the very best grocery store, everyone who goes there agrees. They grow slowly because they only open new locations when they have the cash to do so, and so they never have to compromise on quality in any way

companies just can’t seem to know how to grow without line go up mentality.

That’s like saying “people just can’t seem to harness the advantages of cancer without dying”

If you never take money and get hooked by outside sources, you can just slowly grow, with no debt, beholden to no one

If you take the money with any strings attached at all, you basically have to grow like cancer or your company will be sold for parts. It’s inevitable at that point

Don’t take the money kids. If you have to take a business loan in the beginning - fine,
