When I was a kid in the mid-’60s, I was what’s known as a moddie boy, a prototype skinhead.

After building most of Mint.com’s prototype by myself, I talked to anyone and everyone I knew about Mint.

Aaron Patzer
F1’s ability to problem-solve is second to none and our ability to make rapid prototype parts is again second to none. Christian Horner

My journey is about believing that people will actually stick around. It’s a hard thing to believe when you don’t have a prototype for it. I’ve had to develop that for myself. Jake Weber

Kevin McCloud

To many forms of life of our northern lands, winter means a long sleep; to others, it means what it means to many fortunate human beings – travels in warm climes.

He is nevertheless very dear to me. P. J. O’Rourke
Challenges keep evolving as you move into different stages. When you are at a prototype stage, it’s about getting that sustenance money.
