Grammatical errors aside, I like the ideas represented here.

However I think the post would have more impact if it was followed up with concrete examples. Take MVP for instance, are there any known failure cases that would demonstrate why it's important not to rush half-baked ideas out the door? I certainly can understand how shipping bad functionality can create a huge negative opinion of a company and it's products. However, how do you convince others, especially your boss, that it's a bad idea? Explaining what might happen usually gets you nowhere, pointing out other disasters sometimes gets their attention.

This type of analysis could be performed on each of the 5 things and in doing so would make for a far more interesting read. As previously said, I like the ideas it just seems to be missing information that would make it feel complete.

Thanks for reminding me about the grammar, constant challenge :)

I have lots of examples, perhaps I will do a follow up on that. I will have to talk about most of those examples with a beer in hand, that is a prerequisite.
