Calling a popular term "dead" is certainly a good way to attract clicks. And sure, when money is cheap and you have $2B to spend, you can afford to throw much bigger Spaghetti at the wall. But Lean defines a startup as a project under extreme uncertainty. Commercial video streaming sites exist, the only thing that seems to be new about the example in the article is the video length. I would not consider this an environment of extreme uncertainty. So imho, while cheap money does change the equation, 99% of the article's punch lies in its clickbaity headline.
- kesor 8y agoYou do realize that Steve practically invented the term, right?
- pnenp 8y agoThat's evident from the article. And it does not change the fact that the headline is clickbait, a promise which the article fails to deliver on.
- owens99 8y agoEric invented the term for Lean. Steve invented Customer Development. Both have different definitions of what a startup is. Extreme uncertainty is part of Eric's definition, not Steve's.
