Or maybe there's something in there that can be articulated, learned, applied, repeated. They build just enough infrastructure to support themselves as they grow, and they maintain the momentum of delivery and delight over multi-year product lifespans. What's more they can sustain it over time. High quality, business-critical software being used by real people to create real business impact.
