Agreed - I read the first paragraph before realizing how long the thing was. It's a bit of a turnoff TBH. I'd read the distilled bullet points for takeaways if there were any. But in this long of form? I have trouble committing!

You're not alone - I did the same, and can completely relate to the strange feeling of insecurity from "not getting" a book touted as the best-ever by Gates and Buffett.

I don't think that'd odd at all. There's nothing wrong with that image. It does it's job perfectly fine, despite high market cap or fancy partnerships.

Big fan of Point - stumbled across the app when they went big on Product Hunt a few months back. Quickly spread it between my friends and we point back and forth almost daily. Great app.

If you read reviews from Zappos employees on GlassDoor starting a couple years back, you got the impression that Tony's heart wasn't in zappos anymore, it was in the Downtown Project. I wonder where his heart is now? It's sad

Surely, but for lecture 1 in a "Startup 101" series, you don't need to reinvent the wheel. We're talking about a very, very well documented path at this point, with established best practices.

Definitely sounds like a straw man. What on earth would the business model (SaaS vs anything else) have to do with the product selling itself?

Heh, I can see where the confusion would stem. Somehow though, maybe because this came a day or two after Suster's response to the Gurley interivew, I had a good idea going into it that the post had something to do with the impending V

Of the examples Dustin offers here, the ones that have voice replacing typing make the most sense: - When I’m inputting my home address in a web browser (on mobile or desktop), I should be able to tap the “State” dropdown and just say “Cal

Yeah. Those Quora answers definitely show a sense of "it was interesting/fun". "I'd definitely do it again..." and "I've always wanted to live out of a car, ever since my first station wagon..."
