- aashaykumar92 13y agoI'm the jackass who downvoted you...it was by accident, I meant to upvote. I just don't have the option to go back on it, sorry.
- lanstein 13y agofixed :)
- aashaykumar92 13y agoThanks! Not sure how you fixed it (or how you know its fixed) but if you're an admin, I'd love to know why anything I submit is automatically 'dead'. Email is aashayk@umich.edu, thanks again :)
- k-mcgrady 13y agoHe probably 'fixed' it by up voting the comment you accidentally down voted.
- skbohra123 13y agoProbably he fixed up just by up voting.
- jaf12duke 13y agoI'm glad you brought this up--I use it as much as any other. Our iteration time for creating a fake mock-up and trying to sell it is only days. We can get through 5 tests in the time it takes to build one of them.

- dakrisht 13y agoWould love to hear you elaborate on this...
- petercooper 13y agoI can't speak for Paul B but there's a great book called Ready Fire Aim by Michael Masterson that focuses on this technique that I'd recommend.
