@alexisohanian You know what's annoying? When I buy someone on my team your book and they say, "I already own it." This happened, twice!

Product Hunt

Your recent blog post/excerpt from the book, http://alexisohanian.com/on-being-a-proud-non-technical-founder resonated with me as a non-technical/engineering founder. There's a lack of recognition for the value in all the non-technical aspects of building a company that doesn't get talked about often in the startup community. Engineering is obviously important but that's just one part of the challenge. Anyway, I'll end my tangent (but there's more here if you want to fill your Pocket). :) @alexisohanian - What's the ONE takeaway you want your readers to leave with?

@alexisohanian What's next for you? Related question: what animal will you name your next business venture after? :-)

oh hai @guygal ! Thank you, dude. And @lylemckeany the mascot in my next venture is still a closely-guarded secret... I've done alien, chipmunk, and breadpig (?) now.... so what could possibly be next?...

@rrhoover Ah thanks, Ryan, I think it's simply that now is the time to get started -- that even the most successful among us still don't really know what they're doing, so don't wait for permission or feel like you need to be certain about what you're doing, because we're all hacking it. Speaking of which, learn to code -- if you didn't know, now you know.

@alexisohanian I listened to your book during my commute. It was definitely an inspiration for moving on from my day job and taking more of a risk. I'm not diving into my own project yet, but I'm moving down to SF to learn at Tradecraft with @rrhoover next week!

I read this a few months ago and found it a really interesting read. Wasn't very familiar with @alexisohanian or Reddit (as it's not as popular over here in Europe), but could definitely relate to the general concepts of the power of a free internet. Well worth the read.
