I started with some basic theory: that a startup is an institution designed to thrive in the soil of extreme uncertainty; that traditional management techniques rooted in forecasting and planning would not work well in the face of that uncertainty. There's even a classic Wizard of Oz minimum viable product that dates back to 1998!

Some believe only businesspeople can do this-- that hackers can implement software, but not design it. Back in 1998 our CFOtried to talk me into it. Surely 1998 was a little late to arrive at the party. More generally,design your product to please users first, and then think about howto make money from it. Thats nonsense.
