Excellent! Finally someone who speaks out sensibly. It's a scarring experience to fail and all this nonsense about "fail soon fail often" is difficult to stomach. And it is note worthy that this "mantra" is only sung by people who have been successful. Ever heard someone saying it who just failed???

    Have to fail faster and smaller. This isn't rocket on the pad kinda failures, it is market validation failures with a splash page.
