Hi there -- I'm the OP of the article.

(Ouch!)

You raise an interesting point. Perhaps, without a large amount of "bin #2" work, it's impossible for "bin #1" work to really take off. I've experienced this firsthand, and end up always doing a lot of "bin #2". But I wonder how much better it could be if I dared to focus even further. Or if it's at all possible and I'm just risking it too much.

Do you have any examples of the 80/20 idea actually killing a startup? I'm genuinely interested.

Thanks for commenting!
