Something that JotSpot’s head man said: we don’t do beta anymore, we go straight into GA release. I like that, but you can’t do that too early!

My goal with the stuff I do is to be quick and agile and not overthink things. I used to do software that was all designd, never actualized. I stopped doing that when I was at the Makrolab in Venice. I just sat down and started programming, kind of like sitting down and just painting.

Since I started WBR though, I haven’t had time to do that. I’m going to try to get back to that point, and program instinctually. I do wish that I could design instinctually though.

About hiring: No false positives hiring philosophy: I agree with this as well.

Never get anyone in the company who is not successful. Even if it means rejecting a lot of candidates that would work.

It is like our philosophy: We only hire rock stars.

Interesting point just made: Venture Capital is not always the best option. I agree with this as well. Why inflate something that is essentially only a feature, or a single product into a company? It need not be. Target getting acquired, be flexible, be agile. Does a single feature need a sales and marketing VP? Does a single product need an entire business devlopment team?
