(I was at IMVU for almost four years, just left last week, and was originally on-boarded there during the last six months of Eric's stay.) The tone of testing everything, revalidating assumptions, and relentlessly refining process after mistakes stayed with the company well after Eric left, and is going strong to this day. Just because he self-promotes doesn't invalidate the fact that he has keen insights worth learning. After practicing these "lean startup" habits for the past four years, I can't imagine working without them. (Was going to respond to the grandparent message before I saw Dusty's response, figured I'd chime in anyway after seeing it.)
