Wrong candidate
“If you ever find yourself working for a startup, here’s a handy tip for evaluating customers. Read their job listings. Everything else on their site might be stock photos or the prose equivalent, but the job listings have to be specific about what they want, or they’ll get the wrong candidates.” – Paul Graham in Beating the Averages
Ideas and execution
Sometimes ideas are very powerful but very hard to execute. If brute force gets you somewhere that is a killer start, but, not too soon after that, it is important to partially shift focus on to elegance. For elegance is a key ingredient of the long-game. If you don’t pay attention to elegance, someone else will come along and do it better than you.
