Fun to see DHH posting more on the SVN blog. He’s on a roll with posts I can’t resist quoting.
This is in part the tyranny of the 8-hour work day paradigm. When the work is progressing as planned and the core issues have been addressed, the right move for the manager is often to step back. But if all you know how do is “manage”, there’s no fallback. Nothing else to fill your time with.
So, apparently, MVP (Minimum Viable Product) is a thing. I guess it’s good that something I already try to practice has been designated a formal technique by someone. Regardless, shipping an MVP is hard for many reasons. I even find that once I have the minimum out there, I have trouble shipping the next min piece. I want it to be perfect.

When I look back at all my startup experiences…, every single one of them could have been shipped much sooner… By far the dominant reason for not releasing sooner was a reluctance to trade the dream of success for the reality of feedback.
