All solid advice. This is a nice checklist of things to remember if you have been through it before. However, I don't think the target audience of "knows how to code, but not how to build a product" will be able to do much with this individual article. Any one of this points can spiral into days, weeks, or months of learning and experimentation. Even how to set an environment variable can be a difficult task for a new developer that doesn't have a good concept on what the shell is beyond that they type magic commands into it from stackoverflow.

I really think more established apprenticeships would be good for the software industry. This is a list of things that you only learn if you have been through launching a product, and it takes a few years of experience to have a chance to both do it and have time to digest and understand it.

Also almost 30 points on a business advice article with no comments, smells a bit fishy.
