Can you give an example or two of mistakes that you had read about "in the abstract" and how they manifested in your particular case?
Like you, I've found myself in situations where I realize after the fact, "oh, that's what they were all warning against!" It might have been sunk in better if I'd been given a practical example rather than abstract advice.

- coderholic 15y agoFail fast, don't work on features that nobody will use, try to avoid spending lots of time on fundraising etc etc. Without the context it's really hard to see how those things apply to your situation, even though they sound like good advice. dlevine puts it really really well in another comment - "Once you make the mistake, you will try to avoid the pain it caused by doing something different the next time."
