If the fastest company in a given market will win, then the most important thing for a tech startup is to maintain or increase development velocity over time. Sounds obvious, but very, very few startups explicitly state this as a goal.

100% agree. It’s one argument for using managed services - go slow in short term while you learn someone else’s model, go fast in long term when they continue to develop, document, and maintain it.
Another way of saying this: “over what time scale do you want to be fast?”

I really want people to stop thinking in terms of success and failure, and start thinking in terms of 'length of empire'.

The codebase will eventually be unmaintainable and development velocity will eventually slow down. The job is to delay that as long as possible.pic.twitter.com/KwLRh71NJg
