| I was at Amazon for about six and a half years, and now I've been at | |
| Google for that long. One thing that struck me immediately about the | |
| two companies -- an impression that has been reinforced almost daily -- | |
| is that Amazon does everything wrong, and Google does everything right. | |
| Sure, it's a sweeping generalization, but a surprisingly accurate one. | |
| It's pretty crazy. There are probably a hundred or even two hundred | |
| different ways you can compare the two companies, and Google is superior | |
| in all but three of them, if I recall correctly. I actually did a | |
| spreadsheet at one point but Legal wouldn't let me show it to anyone, | |
| even though recruiting loved it. |
Ideas are cheap. Make a prototype, sketch a CLI session, draw a wireframe. Discuss around concrete examples, not hand-waving abstractions. Don't say you did something, provide a URL that proves it.
Nothing is real until it's being used by a real user. This doesn't mean you make a prototype in the morning and blog about it in the evening. It means you find one person you believe your product will help and try to get them to use it.
There are two types of markup in Liquid: Output and Tag.
