We made a startup and booted it, just then we did not know the words of such. Very quickly we grew to a hundred people, and then I received much more money than I could figure out how to spend. This, of course, is from the poverty of imagination, now such a problem would not become. But most importantly, we were thrilled to do what thousands of people in different countries use, this is the dream of every programmer. Ruslan Fazlyev on work on X-Cart
