How to run a startup (Or why I just got a man crush on David Karp)
Yeah.
We roll out changes to the site every day at 11 a.m….
After we launch a new feature, I keep a close eye on how many people are using it. If it’s unpopular, we’ll discontinue it and try something else. Every feature has some maintenance cost, and having fewer features lets us focus on the ones we care about and make sure they work very well. For every new feature we add, we take an old one out.
Holy crap.
This is how a startup should be run. I love every single sentence in this article.
One of the things I love most about this article is the pragmatic nature of it. It’s just a series of statements with no attempt to be poetic or egotistical. It’s just David saying “Here are some bullets points on how I run my company and why.”
Damn, David Karp. I salute you.
