I had always assumed that "execution" incorporated more than the act of getting a program functional.
You can imagine another version of YouTube with the exact same functions and launched at the same time that never quite took off. I would blame such a failure as an execution failure, not an idea failure.
Maybe working on 10 apps in the past year is another factor. Would really pushing 1 or 2 of those apps and iterating and improving on them been more fruitful?
To consider "executing well" as getting to a functional piece of software is a very narrow programmer point of view, and not a business/entrepreneurial point of view.
