“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.

    Paul Graham is an excellent speaker and has alot of great insights to your points above. As part of my daily study of various leaders (peoples & companies), I did a cliff notes version writeup of his recent webcast @ Startup School 08:

    The writeup is good for for those that don’t have 60m to watch it … but are curious on what he emphasized (like my favorite how startups should model cockroaches).

    Would be curious on your thoughts on their specific points and my take.

    Hope it helps
