I feel sorry for this man. He is a perfectionist.

He believes everything has to be perfect or if not he does not do it. Because of that at the end of the day we have nothing.

With a company you need to compromise. Probably you can no use glass, but you can use polyethylene and paper (tetrabrick).

Step by step you could do a lot. We take lots of technical debt, if we make something that is not a perfect solution but it is better than anything that exist on the world, we ship it. The world improves.

Yes, it is not perfect, but if the product success over time you could pay your technical debt and make it perfect. If not , it just means that people's pockets is not where their mouth is(which is common by the way).
