// Kent Beck - Approaching a Minimum Viable Product // Paul Graham - Frighteningly Ambitious Startup Ideas I found these cleaning up my Evernote one night when I was exhausted but OCD and anxious and had already completely cleaned the apartment. No idea why these are so similar or why they struck me like they were brand new right now.By far the dominant reason for not releasing sooner was a reluctance to trade the dream of success for the reality of feedback.
I think the way to use these big ideas is not to try to identify a precise point in the future and then ask yourself how to get from here to there, like the popular image of a visionary. You'll be better off if you operate like Columbus and just head in a general westerly direction. Don't try to construct the future like a building, because your current blueprint is almost certainly mistaken. Start with something you know works, and when you expand, expand westward.
Buckets are for water, not for people
