37signals advice seems like it comes from a really really narrow set of experiences. Best to take with a large pinch of salt I'd say.



Sure, but anyone's advice comes from a narrow set of experiences that they try to make more applicable. Take anyone's advice with a pinch of salt.

In Paul Buchheit's words: Advice = limited life experience + overgeneralization


I think what he's saying is that they haven't paid sufficient attention to how well they generalize. That's the other half of essay writing.


I agree. I was just meaning it seems 37signals life experience is especially limited.
