What Value Did David Heinemeier Hansson Find in Manual Labor

David says everyone should work jobs that they hate for a short period of time to gather appreciation for work they would want to pursue.

If you become a CEO of a company without having had any experience working for someone else, you might make a ton of first-time mistakes, and be a bad boss.

Having worked in non-glamorous jobs had prepared David for what it takes to be a good manager, and he can now make decisions that are better for his employees, and therefore his company at large.
