When I was 17, I ended up in prison and eventually rehab… …sounds like a tough time, but it was the best thing that ever happened to me. I found a dusty programming book, an old 486 computer, and got it to say:
When I was building Flowtown, we had 10,000 customers… … and we were losing 100% of them every 8 months. Literally, all of them, GONE.
