Except that we are talking document management here, not edible shoelaces. Or anything that requires "manufacturing" in the made-in-a-factory sense of the word.

Except that we are talking document management here, not edible shoelaces. Or anything that requires "manufacturing" in the made-in-a-factory sense of the word. A fake ad survey for a document management system from someone who "works in the electronic Document Management and Records Management industry" is shouting out loud, "I'm too scared to actually sit and code this thing because it's hard and I might take too long to do it or completely fail to do it." And I don't know why people like throwing money away. With $100, I'd rather buy 5 months of Linode server time than 12 email addresses. When the best entrepreneurs are saying be cheap, I think we ought to listen and be cheap. And with 2 weeks of time, I'd rather sit and code the most basic functionality of my app and show it to people I know who might need it.
