"Deprecate yourself. Don’t be the go-to person for the code. Optimize it for people to find their way fixing bugs and adding features to the code. Free yourself to move on to the next project/company. Don’t own the code or you’ll never grow beyond that." –Alex Ewerlöf

Had a really nice time last night at @upsurgebmore's #Equitech meetup at @AlmaCocinaBmore - met some really awesome Baltimore tech founders. Reminds me of the old days!
