This quote comes from his larger post, 5 Lessons Learned While At Teachstreet.com. It is a awesome post and worth a read of the entire thing. This quote really stuck out for me though. Typically the biggest excuse in getting anything out in a start up is programmers. But many times it is a lazy excuse as you can manually do a lot more then you think if you are creative. The benefit of doing that is you kill things before programmers waste time on them and if they take off your programmers are working on what is going to work.
Programmers are almost always the most valuable resource in a start up and anything you can do to get more efficiency out of them can be a real competitive advantage.
