I would love to see more "one year later" type pieces from other YC startups, I'm sure theres a wealth of useful information in the direct experience of startup founders.
Well said. The world is full of shiny new things to play with, as well as consulting clients who pay real money right now. It's tough to stay focused in the face of all that.<p>But it's a game of inches. Every little bit of polish will get you a little closer to where you want to be. Every one of those annoying edge case bugs you squash gains you another inch. Sure, it doesn't seem like you're moving fast like you were a year ago (it certainly doesn't for me), but you're moving.<p>You have to. Because if you stop you die.
Hope ticketstumbler works out in the long term; if it doesn't or if you have a successful exit, looks like you could consider the PG route of becoming a writer.
