built something great      shipped it and talked to customers

Job’s Law (corollary to Godwin’s Law): “As an online discussion grows longer, the probability of a comparison 
involving a software founder building their product like the iPod approaches 1.”

Working on Farcaster and Warpcast. Longer thoughts at https://dwr.email

Few realize the iPod succeeded because Apple optimized a widely explored idea space with a vertically integrated compute stack and, despite the iPod being far from perfect, it addressed mp3 player pain *system* pain points.

And the Zune failed because it was randomly different.

Rated 💯 by multiple networks. Fluent in /unglish. Unbothered by /whatday of the week it is.

Allegedly a designer.

I say this as someone who thought their initial price point was insane versus the (can't remember the name) mp3 player I had that was easily managed via mp4 tags, folders and had better playback quality and codec support at 1/5 the cost.

Turns out music is something people want to enjoy without much effort.

iPod was also developed in less 10 months. As close to ship it as it gets in hardware.
