Note that she didn't submit this.

And also note the companion blog post: http://leahculver.com/2009/07/14/web-product-guildelines/

"I’ve been keeping a gist of web product guidelines for myself. It’s pretty much a list of stuff I tell entrepreneurs when they asked me what I’ve learned from Pownce (from a product point of view) and also what I try to remind myself when working on new projects. I thought I’d re-post them here for fun. If I’m missing anything, be sure to comment."



How could anyway be expected to find that companion blog post? If writing lists of "Motivations"-poster style truisms helps her keep her goals in mind, then great, but the resulting product is of little value to others.

Anyway I've already made way too much of a fuss over this. I just wanted someone to make the point - this submission, as submitted, is garbage, and the only reason it's been voted up is because it's by a kinda-cute girl. That is not the meritocracy I hope for in a place like HN.
