There's always a point of view or scenario that seems to argue the opposite. His advice is great in general and his other articles are definitely worth reading.


Nice article, these days I see more and more companies which can be called FANC - Features and not Companies.

Nice to read such articles once in while. Since reading just tech crunch make you think just in narrow ish "valley think" which can be disastrous.


ahh...a failure to mention the Bermuda incorporation... :)
