The speaker believes that fierce competition and customer demand mean Legora would lose customers to competitors if it stayed very small and built little, so Legora must build more.

“I wanted to do that, but I think the, in the real world, we're in like fierce competition. People want so much stuff. It's like, uh, I could be a puritan and just be like, "No, we have to stay twenty people, and we can only build," you know, whatever.”

“Uh, but then we just lose. Uh, and like people would go elsewhere. So we have to build more. And so I think my job is to figure out how do I build a system where we can build a lot, but actually only like where we can... the, the customer feels like we've built so much stuff, but we've actually only built a few things.”
