"The longer they [those with the "good" ideas] wait, the
more they convince themselves of how perfectly that idea
should be executed, and they imagine it on a beatiful
platter with glitter and rose petals."
It's a simple discussion about implementation. Not sure what you're arguing against.
I guess I focused too much on the comic. You're right, the post does a good job of stressing the importance of implementation.
But it also dismisses the value of ideas too glibly. Bill Gates may have been "some dude who liked writing interpreters and funny games," but that is miles ahead of some dude who liked making marijuana sculptures. The ideas were what made the difference.
It doesn't seem odd to anyone that we're reading a post describing the author's epiphany that epiphanies are useless?
