Well... sorry, but without more details, that's just fluff.

* How did they handle the stuff they weren't good at?

* Was this tested with other people? Is it possible to apply the method to people who were previously doing stuff they weren't good at and see results?

* With a startup, that does not have much money, the founders are responsible for doing everything. Presumably, they are not good at all of it. What should they do?

* Delegate the stuff you're not very good at. (As a consequence, get good at recognizing the delegates' quality.)

* That man wasn't doing that for the first time, and he had partners (if that qualifies as "other people"). The man also did stuff he wasn't good at and only gradually changed his habit, the results are what inspired the post writing.

* Chose your enterprise wisely.

I think he means the general field of the startup catered to his skill set, not the entirety of the project.

Also with X amount of founders presumably if one person cannot say design the site, maybe another once can. I would assume not all of his cofounders have exactly the same skill sets, but complimentary ones.

Well I'd rather not make assumptions and guesses, I want to read about how things worked out.

You are right, and my comment was fairly speculative. I see it more as a motivational piece though.
