We just have to come in every morning and somehow, launch the editor.

All non-trivial abstractions, to some degree, are leaky.

Not having a schedule is OK if it's your PhD and you plan to spend 14 years on the thing, or if you're a programmer working on the next Duke Nukem and we'll ship when we're good and ready. But for almost any kind of real business, you just have to know how long things are going to take, because developing a product costs money.

Never put yourself in a position that will put yourself at risk if you make the wrong decision. We spent cash on everything. It's fashionable to make 'bet the company' decisions, but don't do it.

Every day that we spent not improving our products was a wasted day.

If your goals is to produce something of permanent value, you start to think differently about you want on the site.

Shipping is a feature. A really important feature. Your product must have it.
