   I can't wait to give this a try... I've been weekend hacking on trying to improve on the NextMuni predictions, because they're just so consistently misleading/awful.

   I think the article is confusing software building with product testing. I think the intent of the lean startup MVP concept is to enable learning about your product's market fit as quickly as possible.

   I had a similar concept pop in my noggin after reading this post on G+ from matt cutts: https://plus.google.com/109412257237874861202/posts/NEif81aW... Where he's trying to gauge audience interest (good) so that he can adjust his publish

   FWIW It was a pretty spontaneous creation. I'm attending the conference and being a regular user/visitor/lurker/fan of wompt, created a room and mentioned it to dan and he took the ball and ran with it. Which is a pretty appropriate experim

    While I agree there's definitely more to the holistic experience of UX than simply designing a UI after "frontpage" tutorials (really now comparing balsamiq or keynote wireframes to frontpage 101 is a little insulting to those tools) A non-

    I don't think that's what I meant at all... fwiw. I'm saying working on things that help them articulate visually their ideas quickly. The act of learning a bit of HTML/CSS or Rails/PHP/etc makes the non-technical founder a better non-tech

    Writing a book is hard. I had a book contract once, and for a multitude of personal & productivity reasons, failed to ship. So I definitely relate to the problems associated with the pressures of deadline driven forced creativity/produc

    I think you use what works best for your problem set taking into account your expertise. I'm using (no demo available yet) nodejs, express, socket.io, and yQuery together. There's a jQuery wrapper out there for use with node, I think. j

    The hard (and interesting) thing is taking action about it. Excellent point. FWIW I'm just trying to divide the problem up into imperfect broad categories to frame the discussion/thought process. It's more of a test to make sure you a
