I agree - except the last line rubs me the wrong way somehow. I think that it
implies that there is a political separation between a founder and the
company. Blogging has helped remove this separation and shown us that all
companies really consist of humans.

I try my best to(and think I do pretty well to some degree) practise this very
idea. I am a recent non-technical grad and have been trying my best to add
value to a start-up I reached out to. The one thing that I have found to be my
best attribute is owning a project I know I can do well. I present an idea,
say how I will accomplish it, and execute. The thing I am battling at the
moment is spending more time planning than executing. I spoke with a
knowledgable friend once and he mentioned, especially in the start-up arena,
that once you reach the point where you are 70% confident that an idea is a
good one, you should execute right then. The energy and time involved in
working on the remaining 30% confidence is simply too expensive for a start-up
to afford. I now just need to take this to heart and practise it.
