Agile development, startups and government policy

During the meeting, I talked a lot about my thoughts on innovation in the context of newer software development practices and frameworks like agile development and Ruby on Rails. As Reid Hoffman often says, if you’re not embarrassed by your the first release of your product, you’ve released too late.” The release early, release often ethos of linux combined with the amount of actual “real work” you can do in one week with Ruby on Rails and other languages and frameworks totally changes the game for early stage consumer Internet investing.
