Six Principles for Making New Things

Paul Graham from technology seed funder Y Combinator has a simple recipe of six principles for making new things.

He says,

"I like to find (a) simple solutions (b) to overlooked problems (c) that actually need to be solved, and (d) deliver them as informally as possible, (e) starting with a very crude version 1, then (f) iterating rapidly."

I completely agree and advise people developing a new website to get to screens as quickly as possible as why document when you can do. I also advocate that you start simply, launch fast and then roll-out extra features in stages.
