Design Feast Series: Quotes

“Actual bare bones development, time spent on the product, and months and years of hard work are what can be attributed to a company’s success. …

Rather than trying to invent a ‘make it big’ idea, having good instincts, foresight and putting together a team that can execute has much greater value. If you spend time putting together a group of people than can actually deliver the goods, an idea becomes nothing more than a showcase for your talents. With the ability to execute, ideas become distilled down to their essence. This makes way for knowledge and communication.

The industry needs a wake-up call, and a majority of entrepreneurs need to shift their focus. I’d much rather see world-class teams developing products they believe in, as apposed to the generic Venture Capitalist funded rapid startups that only make noise.

A team with knowledge and experience will see an idea as a means to showcase what they’ve learned throughout the years. A good team will take each project or product as a culminating adventure. Whether it be discovering new user experiences, writing faster queries, managing larger infrastructures or perfecting communication flows, every component plays an integral role into the next.

Stop trying to invent the next Google… Focus on what’s really important and the natural paths will emerge.”
