A good parent fights tooth and claw for their child, and gives it every opportunity they possibly can to enable it to succeed. (And isn’t afraid to show tough love either when that is what is needed.)
Sitting with your thumb up your ass expecting success will come to it automatically just because it’s deserving is the mistake I made. And that was no minor me-too indulgence; it was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to put end-user automation into the hands of millions. And all that investment and future potential crashed and burned at the very last step to mass adoption, because while I was a good programmer I was a terrible product manager.
Any idiot can write code. That’s the easy part. It’s all the other stuff you need to work hardest at if you’re to build a successful market. ’Cos if you fail to put bums on seats, the best code in the world ain’t worth squat.
