Like many techie types, I’ve been reflecting on Steve Jobs and how he moved me and influenced me at various times in my life. I started writing down these thoughts in a blog post: the fierce competition at my junior high school (yes, that’s what it was called back then) for the two Apple ][s we had; sneaking into my dad’s closet in the Fall of 1983 to read the manuals and technical documentation for the original Macintosh (he was involved in one of the early university deals with Apple and had received them under strict NDA); the day my three year-old became an iPhone user. But then I thought, writing this is not a good use of my time.

Instead, I thought I’d pay Steve homage by sacrificing two days to stop iterating on my MVP, to work on the aesthetics, usability, and insane greatness of my web service.  I don’t know whether this effort will help me acquire users and it certainly won’t help me discover the right market niche, but the product is just so darn beautiful tonight, that I go to bed feeling happy and proud.

Tomorrow, back to the funnel.
