Very important point Bricklin makes, and one I agree with strongly: "But one thing is and was necessary: experience shipping a product. You should know, he says, 'what it is to actually complete something and get it out the door. That's a real important thing to learn.' Nothing beats the experience of shipping software, to take something from start to finish. You get feedback from users, and find out what you did right and wrong. It's even better, he says, to do this with other people" Ideas and knowledge are great. Accomplishment is something else altogether. Ship, ship, ship!
