I agree with the tone of this article, it ends with "these rules are meant to be broken," which is great. The only rule I agree with strongly is Don't do partnerships. Unless you're in a position where people ask you for a partnership, it never works well. My company spent a lot of time chasing partnerships which on paper make perfect sense, but always got stuck in some middle-management layer where everybody says it's great but nobody really cares.
