It's ridiculous to give positive business advice in a post-mortem. If you think you've learned valuable lessons on how to succeed, demonstrate that by succeeding. Otherwise just tell the detailed story of what happened without the inspirational drivel.
- allendoerfer 12y agoEverybody on Hackernews knows how Google or Facebook were started. But when their stories are told, they are often focused on the one deal that succeeded, ignoring the 100 cases were the company almost died. It is inspirational and helpful to know what to do. It is even more helpful to know what not to do and which mistakes to avoid. You gain time to figure out other problems on your own.
