1. “We had CODA. They were our first user, and they were based in Palo Alto. Dylan and I drove down and demoed the product to them. And they were the first ones, their designer, Jeremy, was like, yes, we'll take this on full time. And I remember we were both like, what? Will it? He will. That was like the first person who said yes to us. And so we were like so excited. This was like a huge milestone. We were just so stoked. And then we got back to the office. And I think Dylan gets a text from Jeremy being like, oh yeah, I tried this gen with Philippe, my engineer, and he can't get the file to open. I guess he can't use it. And we're like, what is it? What happened? This is finally got someone. And I remember Dylan was like, everybody drop everything. We have to fix this. And after some, you know, looking at the servers and things, they were like, nothing's wrong. And then they realized there's a problem with the leaps MacBook. And Evan down had a car so Dylan had to drive Evan down to Palo Alto to fix the MacBook of Philippe just to get them to use the product.”
