+It's a delicate balance. I could actually summon a hundred anecdotes on
+the subject: "ship early and often," the whole build-in-public movement,
+the concept of an MVP, etc.
+
+All of this is well and good, but it has taken some of the magic out of
+release day. Shipping before we're done means that we don't have a
+moment to point to where everything changed. No more "iPod, phone,
+internet communicator."
