Maybe this is mean, but when I read blog posts by him, this is all I see. Arrogance and disobedience.<p>I read it because everyone is reading it, but I hate reading it. I always feel like he's sending poor new boot-strappers down the path of destruction and he doesn't seem to care - it's all about getting eyeballs on his blog and on his products.<p>He disagrees with just about every tried-and-true business strategy that ever existed, and he gets a lot of readers by just flipping the ideas upside down.<p>Please, if you're starting a business, write a basic plan (at least), set goals for your business, and launch when you feel the time is right, not just early because everyone says to launch early.<p>After all, everyone around the tech forums just want you to launch early because they want to see if you have a good idea that's not flushed out enough yet so they can copy it quickly and build it out faster and better than you. Only the competition are reading these threads - your customers are out in the world.
