Start Small, Stay small is 10 years old. A lot has changed since then. The author made an unfortunate decision to write extensively about things that are not perennial. So after reading for a while about software tools and practices that are now dead or outdated, describing the limitations of an iPhone 3G, etc, I decided to stop and return the book.

Yep, that makes sense. I’ll say most marketing books I listen to that are 10 years old are brutally out of date.

The focus on detail that made the book a success also made it go out of date relatively quickly.

It needs an update. That is on my to do list most years (between running MicroConf and TinySeed) and one of these days I will circle back and get it done.

Honestly, this weighs on me. It’s something I’ve been wanting to do for years.

Sounds like you started small* and stayed small :-)
