1. if Notch had your perfectionistic attitude, he wouldn't have released anything - so, no minecraft. Also, Elon Musk wouldn't have had three rocket disasters - no SpaceX. And Mark Zuckerberg certainly wouldn't have began The Facebook. Similar for google, linux, Windows (especially!) Of course, all these guys were lucky... but isn't it striking how fortune favours the brave?

2. Given that Notch had all this incredible success even though he's so "half-assed", imagine what you could do if you adopted his approach?

(For the record, I thought 0x10c was a stupid idea. OTOH I really liked the idea of the minecraft world - where the cube basis is universal and malleable, and sacrificing nicer graphics for that - though the actual game doesn't grab me. I think Notch is awesome and inspirational, and should keep doing what he values - regardless of my opinions!)
