Pretty good article, and it's hard to argue with any of his advice... but it seems a bit prescriptive and I would have liked if he had included some examples, lessons learned, etc.
Otherwise, and with absolutely zero gratuitous negativity intended, I get the impression that he wrote this piece to pitch Canny.io as opposed to genuinely wanting to help other entrepreneurs.
- a13n 9y agoHey Dave, thanks for reading! I honestly think if I had read this article 2 years ago, I could have gotten as far as I am now in half the time. That's huge, and I genuinely think these words can help others. I mentioned Canny at the top of the article because I got feedback that I should in order to show my credibility around talking about the subject. If it didn't somehow benefit Canny, it wouldn't make sense to spend the time writing it. It definitely wasn't my only motivation though.
- SeeDave 9y agoFair enough, and I'll probably regret making that comment sometime in the next year or so. I probably spend way too much time on HN, random VC Blogs, Medium, and consuming other startup-ey content so it would probably be healthiest to interpret the comment as a reflection of my own skepticism/impending burn-out. That said, Canny looks pretty cool. Hope it goes well :)
