After months of toiling away, the feeling you get from seeing real-world people actually start using your product is the best feeling you will ever get as a software programmer in your professional life.

Hey Chickens, We Have Eggs. Oh Shit, Now We Have Too Many Chickens. Hey Eggs! The next lesson in solving the chicken and egg problem is that you need just enough of one to make the others happy. You need to build one side up and be able to point at all of these potential matches you’ve created for them.
