Reminds me of one of the quotes in my hostel dorm:

Another day passed and you still haven’t done anything!

If the people lead, the leaders will follow

Sunday, August 3rd, 2008

Google understands a few other things most Web companies still don’t. The most important is that you should put users before advertisers, even though the advertisers are paying and users aren’t. One of my favorite bumper stickers reads “if the people lead, the leaders will follow.” Paraphrased for the Web, this becomes “get all the users, and the advertisers will follow.” More generally, design your product to please users first, and then think about how to make money from it. If you don’t put users first, you leave a gap for competitors who do.

There is always so much to do in a startup that people won’t be too picky about your paper qualifications, if you can solve problems for them without screwing up.
