Just do it

by oli

I attended startupschool about a week ago and that was quite a blast. The folks at justin.tv and omnisio have got the video transcriptions up, definitely worth a watch.

I missed most of a couple of talks, and by Murphy’s law, they just so happened to be amongst the top 3 talks I wanted to hear; Paul Buchheit and Paul GrahamWe had a production server outage, so I was furiously competing for router time with 400 other geeks (and PG during his talk… XD).

I did, however, manage to catch this quote from one of PG’s slides:

A good plan, violently executed now, is better than a perfect plan next week.
George S. Patton
US general (1885 - 1945)

I wonder why this wasn’t even a discussion topic in the HN crowd, but this stroked a chord in me, which still resonates as of now. I now make it my motto.

Wonderful hacker gathering and awesome pre- and post- parties. Much love for SUS. See you next year.


P.S.: We got that production issue fixed. Phew! I miss the ops guys @ Tucows
