To stomach this startup mentality this quote drives home to me the most. I just came to the realization that there is a new product out that does what I want to do but not exactly. I put myself in a small panic/"is is worth it" kind of mentality but knowing that if something like this stops me from trying to accomplish my dream, then I dont have what it takes to start a startup. I won't be able to live with myself if I stop now and always have "what if's" floating around in my head. After reading this excerpt im fired up, im not going to let this speed bump stand in my way.
The funny thing is that once you throw out the feature that you really really thought you needed, you actually don't even think about it anymore. Strange how that works.
Just last week I was visiting a startup where the lead engineer expressed outright disdain for product.
It'll be interesting to see which philosophy becomes dominant in 10 years.
We're three designers, one project manager, one CEO, one customer service guy and only two developers.
That's only two developers out of eight people.
