Anil Dash talking in metaphor of burning fire. My favourite paragraph is about how the most important thing is invisible to our eyes and often the most ignored.
It’s very obvious that you need fuel and a spark to start a fire. But the most important enabling aspect is oxygen, and it’s the part you can’t see. So many struggling fires are lacking only oxygen to enable them to become a true conflagration, but people often fall back to reshuffling the things they can see, rather than considering the vital parts that are invisible to them.
