Reblogged from Miso Engineering:
You comb Hacker News daily, marveling at the neatly packaged startup tales, uber-effective best practices, super clever engineering solutions, and lots and lots of links to websites filled with Helvetica, minimalism, and pastel colors. You've attended Lean Startup workshops, read Four Steps to the Epiphany, and subscribe to the Silicon Valley Product Group blog.
Honestly, it's all very intimidating.
My product advice, from one overthinker to another overthinker - throw it all away.
"If you think it’s cool, it’s probably cool. If you think it sucks, it probably sucks."
