You're right, but I specifically mentioned corporations as that is where its less obvious what is right for the company and more likely to make it hard to get promoted or recognized.

Some good advice I heard here a few years ago is start marketing well before you start coding. Eg create a website, start your advertising, look for customers while providing a white label product or even just a promise to deliver later. It
