We used to have a DIY recording studio in our back garden where my dad would jam with pals. Sometimes he’d give us a heads up someone good was playing and we’d listen from the house. One of them turned out to be @Hozier https://t.co/F73sTW6gjT

The Lisbon deal is no surprise to anyone close to them. @WebSummit is undoubtedly of the most successful Irish startups, especially considering it’s largely bootstrapped. I enjoyed this take by @connorpm that they're a tech company in the events industry https://t.co/mPtGaZwfbX

In retrospect our collective hubris and naïveté was pretty incredible. I can’t count the number of mistakes I made in that period. But being given the space to make them was crucial. And that unbridled optimism gave people the belief they could do anything. Exhibit A: https://t.co/8fgLZa4ona

Some of my friends couldn’t really understand why I’d pack in my own startup to join a small events company with 15 staff (at the time Web Summit was one event with 5k people). The simple answer: Paddy told me “We’re going to build something huge” and I believed him.

People see “insecurity” as a binary, or sometimes a spectrum. I think a more accurate mental model is one of *areas of insecurity*. A good way to spot your own is by looking out for the things you don’t like to be given advice on.

@rivatez Interesting Lens. I think being vulnerable previously happened in a private context. Now that people live their lives in public they tend not to distinguish as much between their public/private selves & go one of two ways: Be more publicly vulnerable, or less privately vulnerable https://t.co/qqG8VzrJoG

This is a disheartening realisation for someone who values nuance. It means:
1. Mainstream culture is not a good place to find deep truth (which is complex).
2. People who have gained mainstream recognition whilst maintaining control of a nuanced narrative deserve serious kudos

When you expose a *complex* message to a crowd, you’ll have a few who will get it, but the majority will be sufficiently confused as to be non-plussed, at best, so the reaction, whether positive or negative, is small.

In both scenarios you’re going to have to pay more than the actual man hours required to build your V1. Honestly their are pros and cons to each. My personal recommendation, having endured and witnessed heartache in the past would be to pay up front for quality.

Some agencies are more up front about this misalignment of incentives, and will offset it by charging you more up front. In general these agencies will write better, more extensible code, and have much less onerous contracts and terms.

These agencies will be pretty vague about what tech they’re going to use because they know you’re not technical enough to know or care. Most often they’ll extend an existing CMS. Their contracts will be strict about what they hand over - often they own all the code they write.

Many agencies won’t mention this up front. They’ll be the more attractive option because the V1 they produce, on the surface, will look identical to what their more expensive competitors would produce. The differences are hidden 1. In your contract and 2. In your codebase.

Agencies can be a great way to get your product MVP built, once you know:
1. What you (probably) want: Something you can extend easily (by them or a team you build later)
2. What they want: Something they can maintain and extend (for a price)
You will get what you pay for.
