Lao Luo's Entrepreneurship and feelings

Thanks to the blessing of friends, from the hammer ROM release until today's so-called farewell speech, can be free to observe the opportunity, but every time in the scene is not like the first 10 rows of audience standing, clapping, cheering, seeking signature enthusiasm, the right to listen to a crosstalk performance. The only regret is that Tianjin casually find a teahouse to listen to crosstalk, will not let me every time in the last hour to sleep. Logically speaking, free Crosstalk have listened, this kind of cheap maiguai things can not do, gotta say something nice, but look at the Friends circle in the forwarding of children, I am a bit unable to sit still, see not, or try to calmly say something.

At the end of last month, went to Xiamen, in addition to meeting some of the smart home manufacturers, an important task is the general invitation to Yao, as a mentor, to participate in the "Cross-strait Business Week" Project PK, guidance is not, at most, to help young entrepreneurs take their decisions. Two days, intermittent participation, and no less than 10 team face-to-face communication, in addition to the enthusiasm of the founders really moved me, the real value of the team is very few. Almost 100% of the team want to rely on a app to hit the market, when asked about the core technology, exclusively that the important thing is sales, resources and relationships, think that with these, the market will naturally send to their mouth. Not to mention that there are at least half of the founders, not even technical partners, only the founder's mouth of the feelings and visions, hoping to find a "technical Daniel" at the scene to assist him to complete his dream. Listening to the team's talk (with an input method of the team to talk to me almost early in the morning), the eyes emerge from a fat Northeast accent middle-aged man figure.

Organize this activity of Yao, is the founder of the small fish net, is also my friends for many years, he founded in Xiamen, the love of coffee, in a short span of two years, has become a gathering place for entrepreneurs in Xiamen. To be sure, this activity is very well intentioned, as the cross-strait joint activities, it is clear that Taiwan's team more reliable and more mature, and the anti-China team, seems to be a lot of domestic entrepreneurship "theory" of pollution, quick success and neglect of professional spirit, almost written in the face.

Now entrepreneurs are talking about internet thinking, but what is the core of the Internet economy? The internet has broken down the traditional economy in the sales chain of layers of barriers, so that your products have more easily reach the target customers. In the Internet economy, sales become less and less important links and jobs, the socialization spread takes over the position of the traditional salesman, the connection between the manufacturer and the target customer becomes the flat structure, as long as your product is good enough, it will be widely spread, conversely, if your product is not good enough, Or the audience think that they have been fooled, then the spread of bad criticism is more likely to be faster, this is not to the manufacturer's will for the transfer, it is not possible to blame the media unknown truth, the only company can control, is your product.

In this context, it is clear that each founder has at least a bit of technology, even the background of the product, the founder only to do, is under the resources of certain conditions, the product of your polished, there is no so-called feelings, only cruel trade-offs. Many of our non-technical background founders love to make the mistake of the technical team as omnipotent lamp, that they can, and have the obligation to help you achieve every idea. But the brutal reality will tell you that this is impossible because resources are not endless. But if the tech team rejects unrealistic demands, the founders ' first reaction must be: The tech team is stupid. The final result is either a loss of budget or excess of deadline.

The hammer of the T1 era, apparently made the mistake above, in the speech of the old Luo also admits, but solve this problem, T2 will be born smoothly? I don't think so. In addition to the feelings and the reality of the compromise, the hammer next to the face of pride and engineering thinking contradictions. From the day the Hammer Rom was released, it was not wrong to see that the old man was doing a very serious job of polishing the ROM interface, UX, and refining it, but the baby-stage hammer clearly had something more important to accomplish.

A hardware product, from hardware to the final UX presentation, should be a complete set of strategies, usually from the bottom to the top layer of the design and implementation, which is the normal engineering method, and we now see, are floating on the surface of the upper layer of the relish of the implementation, it is easy to bring a problem, is at a point in time, It will be found that the underlying hardware does not support more functional requirements at the top of the hierarchy, or consumes a large amount of power, or simply provides the right call. I even suspect that the hammer still doesn't solve the problem of power consumption, which is the product of this contradiction. I wish I underestimated the technical ability of the Hammer team, but it is a mistake that many of the founders of the non-technical background are prone to make, and the hole, I'm afraid, is bigger and deeper than the supply chain problem.

Back to today's speech, the overall expression means "I'm right, wrong is the media and network communication", and then take out donations to OpenSSL things, to the picture with this to their own impression points, unfortunately, Wenchuan earthquake when Sanlu donated 1600w, we want your product is reliable, pull Shing really boring. And the two videos, mixed together in the history of the most unbearable speech, but he said this is the last time.

Serious and adhere to any one of the qualified founder of the required course, to the old Luo this became feelings, attitude and pride, do not know the old Luo's self appreciation of where. Historically, the founder has never relied on the success of the successful product companies, but not by donations to make the company, unless the old Luo want to fight with the new cursor, but I think the odds are even more difficult to say.

Finally, as the old man said at his last farewell, hope he goes all the way, we this society is really not lack of eloquent speaker, the lack of genuine entrepreneurial thinking, respect for products, engineering laws of the CEO, I hope that the old man really understand this thing, but in my opinion, hanging.
