- jwr 5y agoI don't think I have anything particularly outstanding to share — for the most part, I believe common sense gets you really, really far. In fact, many choices I make go against the "common wisdom" and advice from the gurus, but I'm very happy with the results I'm getting. There is only one fundamental truth: you need a good product that people are willing to pay for. Everything else is optional — you can get by and run a successful business without marketing, without mailings and mailing lists, without A/B testing, without AWS, without Kubernetes, but you cannot run a successful business without a good product that people are willing to pay for. Anyway, the advice in the article might actually be good for large venture-funded SaaS businesses. I didn't mean to mock it, I just found it amusing how different my viewpoint is.
