Overlooked Features in your MVP | Developer Track Scott White , VP of Engineering at HUVRdata , had great advice for developers with an MVP (minimum viable product) that are alpha/beta testing with real users.

The Consultative Sale Our sales guy then quietly asked if there was any way we could help them.

So I initially gravitated to the CTO title, and not VP of Engineering. I feel reminded of one of Jerry Weinberg's laws of consulting: Regardless of what it might look like at first, it's always a people problem. I mean, have you seen other people? They might do anything ! But along the way, something strange happened.

Do a curl (or your.NET equivalent) on each domain, and see how many are running a Windows server: I think you’ll find the fraction very small. I am the VP of Engineering at a cutting-edge startup that sells software built on the.NET platform. Nothing says contraction negotiation like the smell of cordite.
