Is anyone bothered by the consistent lack of YC/PG's ability to coherently articulate all of these lessons pedagogically?
Almost all of their advice, even Siebel, is in the negative: 'don't do this' etc.
Siebel does give specific advice, and it's great, but a bit ad-hoc.
Even if startups are counter-intuitive, there should be a way to write this book, with 'How To' lessons, even if it's very 'case based'.
There are enough examples of YC companies that they could grab 10 examples for each specific foray, to demonstrate what works, what does not and why.
There's enough experience and data that someone should be able to write the high level rules, and then discuss a ton of field-level tactics that work for things like brand, direct sales, communications, marketing etc. etc..
