There’s a strange beauty in building something while it’s still small.
Every user feels like a friend.
Every bug feels like a personal insult.

Putin straight up said in a joint PC with Trump that US-Russia trade jumped 20% after Trump took office. Called it “proof” of stronger ties.
In the same period, Trump slapped sanctions on India for buying Russian oil.
So America boosts trade w Moscow, while India gets punished for the same thing.
