August was a slow month in terms of traffic and I was away for a lot of the month, but there were some really great posts at the intersection of startups, technology, product and being a Startup CTO. Every time I see my graduate students try to teach for the first time, it’s usually so painful I bite my lip. The Dry Run.

It literally happened spontaneously while we were brainstorming the foundational idea for data.world, which initially was the brainchild of our brilliant co-founder and CTO, Bryon Jacob. Then we hired our founding CMO, Sam Decker, a few months before our launch. Austin Ventures hated the name. We were locked. He hated the name.

In this model, you take some fraction of the lifetime value of each customer and plow that back into paid acquisition through SEM, banner ads, PR, affiliates, etc. Beware the new hire who has "extensive experience" in startups or big companies - using a different growth driver. Take a look and let me know what you think.

And we cant hire new engineers any faster, because you cant be interviewing and debugging and fixing all at the same time! Even with the highest standards imaginable, theres no way to hire just genius hackers. Hire a CTO or VP Engineering. Worst of all, your teammates are constantly wanting to have meetings.

So one of the first things we did was to hire an Oracle expert and get to work. I was building a new startup in 1999, and wanted to do it right. I had heard that all great companies built their applications on Oracle. Our paltry funding didnt allow us to buy expensive Sun or SGI boxes, but we had a pretty beefy intel-based box from Dell.

But increasingly we can move to a world where teams are chartered to accomplish results instead of tasked with creating work on spec. Do programmers have quiet working conditions?

As the CTO/VP Engineering, I was the worst offender. Ironically, although its the solution team that is the early-warning system ("canary in the coal mine") for pivots, its actually hard for the solution team to make the decision to pivot. Thats why its so essential to have a co-equal problem team. Take a look and let me know what you think.
