This document discusses ideas versus execution in starting a new project or business. It emphasizes that while having innovative ideas is important, execution is 99% of success. To succeed, one needs to both generate big ideas and also acquire functional skills to help build the idea. When first beginning, it is best to start small and release early and often, getting feedback and iterating on the product. Building the right team is also important for taking an idea from concept to reality.

enthusiasm. If you’re that guy, you’ve got a great start. Now
pick up a functional skill and help build it your damn self.”
