You're right, of course. It's by no stretch of the imagination complete, but it's getting very close to our minimum viable product to push out the door.

Maybe I'm a control freak, or maybe I'm impatient; I like your suggestion but I can see it now: he'll agree to it, then nothing would come of it for a few weeks/months, then I'd grab the reins again and do it myself.

After having this discussion on HN, I'm definitely of the mind that his and my timeframes are just incompatible. Looking back, he's had a casual and slow, "it'll be done when it's done" attitude, while I'm very much of the fail-fast mindset (aka push it out the door ASAP and see what happens).

Thanks for the thoughts.
