I’m sharing everything with you. You’ll get to observe how much money I’m starting with, the things I have to buy, the documents I have to fill out-all that is involved in starting up. You’ll be the first to know when I biff it.
This concerns me. If OP has enough time to "share everything", he's probably not spending enough time on the real work he has to do. Worse, the "sharing project" can easily expand to consume most of OP's time without him even realizing it.
OP, I admire your initiative and look forward to hearing about your success. But I'm willing to wait. I'd rather have you focus 100% on the task at hand and share with us later. I care less about the timeliness of your reports than the quality of your results. Best wishes!
- marilyn 17y agoWhile I agree with you to some extent, the other side of the coin reminds me that it's far easier to document your code as you go, then to go back and and do it all at the end. Documenting the startup process is a valuable endeavour, for both the author and his reader, which may not be done well, or at all, if left to the end.
- staunch 17y agoKnowing that he's going to be telling everyone what he's doing is probably good motivation to do well, so he doesn't embarrass himself. Actual time spent on this is probably not worth worrying about. If he's like most people, procrastination and mistaken decisions will likely sap far more time from him than anything else ever will.
