Mark Fletcher posts his 15 Startup Commandments, which are rules that startups should follow.

My favorites are:

2: Stealth startups suck. You’re not working on the Manhattan Project, Einstein. Get something out as quickly as possible and promote the hell out of it.
8: The size of your startup is not a reflection of your manhood. More employees does not make you more of a man (or woman as the case may be).
9: You have to be wrong in the head to start a company. But we have all the fun.
10: Starting a company will teach you what it’s like to be a manic depressive. They, at least, can take medication.
