創業公司的失敗尤其是技術公司都是在創業初期就留下了隱患
Before launch it is a time of bliss, nirvana, and opportunity, right?

every line of code feels perfect, right, and is ingenious to you.

The thing that happens is after launch reality sort of sets in and then all these other tasks sort of come into place that we have to deal with.
但是在產品發布之后結果就變得現實起來我們有好多問題要處理

And so for us, what we're trying to figure out is how do we change software development

Right, and we called this, like a lot of other people,
我們稱之為
we had an acronym, Support Driven Development,
"客服促進開發"
and it's very similar to TDD or other agile practice.
這和"測試驅動開發"很相似

用這種方式,可以制造出高質量的軟件,但是非常簡單

all you have to do is make everyone do customer support.
你所要做的就是讓所有人做客服
And what you end up having is you fix the feedback loop, right?
