In this episode, I talk about why it's important to have an office, and why you should have one if you want to hire the best developers in your area. I talk a lot about how I've always been able to hire top talent regardless of where they live, and how important it is to have a place for them to do the work.

00:00:13.360 with developers all over the world

00:00:39.000 that have the capacity to work and manage themselves.
