I am stoked by the support.
And whilst part of me wants to go party, the rest of me is thinking about the responsibility I've just signed up to and the immense amount of work that needs doing.
I'm also looking at the dev schedule, and thinking... tear that right up. I want to get some very bad version out of the door really soon so that you can see progress and I can learn what works really early.
I was in a meeting this morning with a trusted advisor, and the takeaway is that if I work for 9 months and produce something that has a 80% chance of success, that whilst it would work, it might only work on a small scale and wouldn't provide enough opportunity to learn as if I'd shipped something with only a 50% chance of success a lot sooner.
Basically... what if I spent months perfecting the events feature, and actually discovered that one launched it was the galleries that people found more popular.
What if I could learn that in January of February rather than in October... what could I then have done in the time difference when I focus on the thing people most want?
So I'm going to see how we can get something out on a really aggressive schedule, still with our end vision in mind, but with far more chances for us to test things along the way.
Oh, and whilst I've immediately gone into work mode... I'm totally stoked.
