    The part which resonates with me the most is, we like to say "This is so hard but it's because we are doing hard things". It does not always hold especially on PMF part. If you are feeling every step being hard, it implies you are not doing right. The right feeling is everything should be easy.

    He points out the importance of Product Market Fit very well. What I dislike is he seems to present people a recipe how to get there, meaning he has found the truth to the problem of Product Market fit. It is way more nuanced & complicated than to simply score high on NPS. Michael Seibel's way of cleaning up the misconceptions people have on founding a company is much more of a guidance, at least for me. Nonetheless great insights by Rusenko (to keep it short).

Weebly just took the same idea and modernized it with refreshed design. It was a matter of accessing the capital and only a few people has that privilege in the whole world.
