Translation of the speech of David Heinemeyer Hansson on Startup School'2008

Part 1 , Part 2

“All you have to do is solve someone’s problem a little better than the other guys. Suppose you open a restaurant, an Italian restaurant. It does not have to be the coolest Italian restaurant in the world. It should have delicious food and pleasant service, so that people would go to it, and you had a good business. It seems to me that not many people are trying to create just a good 'Italian restaurant' on the Internet. ”

David Heinemeyer Hansson , the author of Ruby on Rails, talks about startups - about inflated goals and expectations, about options for making a profit, about attracting users, about selling a startup.
