Customer Development: 6 Things I learned in 2 days with less than 10 Users - August 6, 2010
... Rob's a pretty savvy guy. He is only 27 years old, and has been a video game junkie and using the internet for over two decades. ...
Something seems fishy. Anyone who found and downloaded video games for DOS (there isn't much other reason for a seven year old to be on the Internet back then) via FTP without the advantage of Archie should at least grok what Facebook Connect is. Or Facebook's branding of Connect really does suck.
- rcavezza 16y agoI think the big lesson here is that non technical people that don't post on hacker news each day still don't understand facebook connect or they don't want to give all applications access.
- thwarted 16y agoAnd that's a fine lesson, and we all know that, it's a common theme here. But a 27 year old who was using the Internet at age seven doesn't count as non-technical, so this person is a bad example.
- kragen 16y agoThis probably uniquely identifies Rob, actually; there probably weren't more than three or four seven-year-olds on the internet in 1990, and the chance that more than one of them was named "Robert" is quite small indeed.
