We do hard things
I enjoy working closely with smart and passionate people on hard tech. We make robots that fly, yet are easy enough for kids to use. It's difficult work but rewarding seeing the product get used.
It is very hard to ship software and hardware on time, so the weeks before a software release can be a grind.
Make sure new hires understand and are excited about the long-term vision.
