I say that everyone doing a startup needs to know what the actual minimum in the "minimum viable product" really is for them.

The idea of the MVP is there to say "publish this as soon as you can, don't wait because the market will have moved on and you'll run out of money if you wait for perfection".

MLP is a reaction against this, but I don't know if it's a reaction by perfectionists (who are wrong because then you go bankrupt), or a reaction by people who've tried one too many buggy and unready alpha products that was shipped to test the market before it was ready (who are correct, I'll let you think of your own example here).
