I have a lot of respect for jasonfried, I'd kill to sit down and have a coffee to chat shop with him. 37 Signals are a company with great marketing and an okay product. Kudos to them, etc. But its not right [in my eyes] for people to aspire to that. Why would you aspire for that? Are you going to sleep well knowing your product is okay? Aren't most people on Hacker News technology people rather than marketing? Isn't that the core difference - we focus on building great things. Mint "selling out" is better than sitting on your products enjoying the small profits for the rest of your life. Do something awesome, life is too short to be mediocre.
