Like Anything Else We Need To Practice Startups
- danielharan 15y agoIs anyone else consciously trying to practice those skills that are useful in a startup?
- heynk 15y agoI think it would be sweet if we put together a community of people who are focusing on constantly launching or 'practicing' stuff like this. I know there have always been hackathons and startup weekends, but I'm thinking of something thats continual over the long term. Even if it was just a monthly 'What have you built this month?' post on here, I think it would be awesome to share and motivation to keep building. Maybe HN has already had this, I'm just spitting out ideas.
- yesimahuman 15y agoMy practice thus far has been failing and reflecting on it. I've been writing and talking a little bit about it lately: http://blog.maxlynch.com/startup-lessons-learned-part-2 http://blog.maxlynch.com/startup-lessons-learned-part-2 Writing out what went wrong and getting feedback on it has been immensely helpful.
- simondlr 15y agoOn a related note, I'm really enjoying what the Buffer guys are doing. They have a novel idea, but to me following their stories and successes have been fascinating. I keep learning from them. Hope they succeed!
- joelg87 15y agoThanks, that is awesome to hear. If you have any questions I'd love to hear from you. @joelgascoigne or joel@bufferapp.com
