In the vein of the OP, I'm not going to tread lightly:
This post smacks of the founder "culture" post that isn't focussed on business. He provides a lot of powerful-sounding admonitions, none of which equate to "build a product people want, and sell it". Sorry, but this seems far more The Social Network than that-company-that-made-something-cool-and-got-money-for-it.
- natrius 15y agoHe provides a lot of powerful-sounding admonitions, none of which equate to "build a product people want, and sell it". From the post: For a company to be successful there are literally only two functions the company has to perfect. Building and Selling. Thats it. Did you actually read it?
- olalonde 15y agoI think he meant "all of which".
- micahb37 15y agoas the OP, I actually meant the exact opposite. "Just build something awesome" is a horrible directive. It should be "Just build something awesome that people will actually pay for with more than time and tweets."
- rhizome 15y agoIf the general aphorism, "just build something awesome," is so bad, isn't a more-specific "just build something awesome (with unpredictable constraints)" actually worse?
