From perfectionism to building features in the wrong order, avoid these common missteps that can derail your startup
Software engineering has been destroyed by management fads. Specifically, constant interruptions in the form of meetings.
The key to great work is prolonged unbroken concentration. We call this flow. One meeting and flow is gone for the day.

Now? Two or three meetings every day.
