Larry Chiang teaches at a school that he could not get into and wrote a sequel to a book he read and re-read one time too many. He edits the Bloomberg BusinessWeek channel “What They Don’t Teach You at Business School”. After speaking at a school in the Boston area, Harvard Business wrote: “What They Don’t Teach You at Stanford Business School“ (the same title as his NY Times bestseller). He launched his book at a fashion show in NY called Mercedes Benz Fashion Week and wrote, “What a Supermodel Can Teach a Stanford MBA”. If you liked “9 VCs You’re Gonna Want to Avoid” and “How to Get Man-Charm”, you will like his latest post:
The Minimum Viable Blog Post

By Larry Chiang
The pillar of my effort to get distribution rests on MVBP. The Minimum Viable Blog Post.
Eric Ries has ‘Minimum Viable Product’. I have The Minimum Viable Blog Post. It is uses my 3, 2, 1 formula for blogging.
3 paragraphs, 2 pictures, 1 focus.
12 sentences total.
I argue that doing perfect work is tough.
I argue that having gotten it done and out into the wild is 100x better.
My book has a picture of the Stanford map with Sharpie writing.
An example MVBP is Kiran Divvala. I met him when I spoke at MIT Sloan.

Another example is Jeff Lawrence. He was my student in ENGR145
