Sam Altman on the importance of quality:

vutran | Nov. 3, 2020, 8:18 a.m.

"All companies that grow really big do so in only one way: people recommend the product or service to other people.

No growth hack, brilliant marketing idea, or sales team can save you long term if you don't have a sufficiently good product."
