His talk "Become Efficient or Die" (not currently on his talks page) is very insightful: (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QDT8OH1x28E&playnext=1&#3...) Most startups I know lack many of the most important things he mentions.

(I realize I probably shouldn't respond to this question, which would have been satisfied by simply reading the link. But it gave me an excuse to post this talk.)

I absolutely loathe videos. There went 15 minutes of my life to get a short message: be minimalistic in processes and code. Not that it isn't a good message, but hardly worth more than the ten seconds needed to scan it in text.

Actually, the talk is the 3 videos in that playlist, not just the initial one. For instance, he gets into "knowledge debt", using Clojure and Neo4j as examples.

I suppose potentially interested people will want to skim until they find something they're interested in; it starts out slow. Sorry you didn't find it worth your time, though I found it worthwhile.
