The learning part of the experience was definitely the most important part... A handful of teams built really impressive shippable products. The hope or fantasy that your idea or your team will be one of those teams is part of what fuels an

Thank you both for your thoughtful replies. I did fail to mention that I registered as "non-technical", although I consider myself a hybrid techie-product manager (I have a technical generalist / web sys admin-ish background). If anyone ha
