I don't know if that qualifies as 'changing my life' but when he told me he had to plug his ears and run away because it was so loud, it certainly made me want to turn this into a long-term career.
- yunohn 4y agoCould you explain further?

- testmasterflex 4y agoCorrect. When I started my first company from my bedroom I only had a normal tower computer as a server and had heard that rack server is what the professionals use, so I bought two and started them. Sounded like 2 jet engines and quickly realised I need a data Center to put these in.
