Couldn't agree with you more. I agree with "release-early-iterate-often" however the notion of "never launch, just iterate" is bad advice IMO. This is also one of the few times I was surprised that more HN readers didn't poke holes in this blog post, but I think that's likely attributed to hacker ego in regard to "marketing" vs "engineering".

I've seen this happen countless times by founders who didn't know when to stop drinking their own kool-aid and meaningfully evaluate product holes because a handful of visitors swore it was the best thing since slice bread.
