Oh, the Places You'll Go
bah humbug,<p>How much muscle memory did Zuckerberg have? Couldn't have been that much as he was so young.<p>I think this post is missing a larger point. You don't need to get to the point that "creating and shipping products is muscle memory". You just need to ship products. We've all seen the examples of Rovio (60+ products before a hit) or Id  (4 products before hit?). And there's probably also plenty of examples of first product hits as well. Seems like important part is shipping. Not being a master of your craft.<p>Of course maybe that's not what people want to hear and I certainly would like to know tips that would make it more likely that the things I ship, write, create will be well received and popular but I can certainly name many products, libraries, app that are not the product of "someone with a finely honed craft."<p>And so that's the true story. It's not that people who do great things don't have an interesting story because to them it's just a normal day and they're so awesome they don't recognize it. It's that greatness comes from doing. The more you do the more chances for greatness.
