I totally agree with this. Think about how much it cost to start a business even seven years ago: you had to buy servers and dev tools, etc.

Now you can test an idea for a few thousand dollars and a couple of weeks time by a few people; the market will tell you if it works or not and you're off.

If it doesn't work, who cares-at least you tried and didn't waste too long at it.
