I blame the insane culture springing up around inaccurate and ill-conceived interpretations of the lean startup methodology. Many young entrepreneurs and early-stage startups seem entrenched in a mindset that they must be pivoting or iterating or using all their runway or sumsuch similar nonsense.

The word "pivot" should be banned from tech startup lexicon.

You beat me to it. Ditto. Perhaps I should've pivoted my reply! Yes, that was just as meaningless.

Next time, you can be first.

I've long had "issues" with the madness that tech startup culture inspires. MVP should be IVP, where as IPV = Initial Viable Product. If one really learns "lean" methodology, MVP really is IVP, but no one seems willing to actually pause and learn. Sad.

Totally agree.
