...of all the business clichés in the world, there is none that I hear more, and that I hate more, than the vague, poorly-defined and generally ill-conceived notion that "execution" is more important than "the idea."
Oh, how the truth hurts. I actually got this far before I bothered to read the name of the author. If Mark Zuckerberg made this point it would have weight, but as it stands it's just another bunch of sour grapes.
- omouse 17y agoIt can be both sour grapes and the truth.
- kelnos 17y agoI personally wouldn't suggest that you can get by with great execution on a crappy idea (or crappy execution of a great idea), but given the author's past history, one could easily make the conclusion that it's mostly just sour grapes. And while reading about truth is a good thing, I find it's not worth the read if the truth is wrapped in overblown angst and already-beaten-to-death accusations.
