Describes building side projects into startups with concrete examples: 33 million visitors across sites, a team of 250, paid out a quarter of a billion dollars, company is bootstrapped. Covers projects that shipped — Desk, Buildkite, Candy Japan, an asteroid database later acquired — and practical rules: ship fast, focus core value, aim for under 10 hours for first cut, iterate, swallow pride, accept many failures en route.
