Start a Startup

Last time I mentioned his article( Great Hackers ) in my blog...
This month article simply superb..some excerpts from that article...

What matters is not ideas, but the people who have them. Good people can fix bad ideas, but good ideas can't save bad people.

Business people are bad at deciding what to do with technology, because they don't know what the options are, or which kinds of problems are hard and which are easy.

The rulers of the technology business tend to come from technology, not business. So if you want to invest two years in something that will help you succeed in business, the evidence suggests you'd do better to learn how to hack than get an MBA

A 10% improvement in ease of use doesn't just increase your sales 10%. It's more likely to double your sales.

So if you want to win through better technology, aim at smaller customers.

An apartment is also the right kind of place for developing software. Cube farms suck for that, as you've probably discovered if you've tried it. Ever notice how much easier it is to hack at home than at work? So why not make work more like home?

So who should start a startup? Someone who is a good hacker, between about 23 and 38, and who wants to solve the money problem in one shot instead of getting paid gradually over a conventional working life.

Worth to Read....
