The writing world might be coming around to the whole Lean Startup thing.
- codewright 14y agoYou don't even really have to put in those terms. The best thing you can possibly do for your career is to be as prolific as you possibly can. Whether it's writing, writing for comedy, programming, etc.
- ludflu 14y agoover a long enough time horizon, quantity == quality
- codewright 14y agoI'd take it a step further and say that quality requires quantity to come forth. That's partly why people who have merely dabbled in programming over a long period of time will have a very hard time catching up to somebody that has truly immersed themselves. I'll hire a passionate aspirant with a cool portfolio spanning only two years over a 20 year professional with zero side projects in most cases. (Save for when expertise cannot be expected to be "picked up" in a reasonable amount of time.) The word portfolio here is key.

I'm writing a book about this exact idea here: https://leanpub.com/lean https://leanpub.com/lean The first version of the Lean Publishing manifesto, which addresses this exact point, is here: https://leanpub.com/manifesto https://leanpub.com/manifesto Disclosure: I'm the cofounder of Leanpub, and our entire startup is a bet on this being true.
