I already had a leg up because I had most of my product put together. I just needed to figure out how to market it.
And the first thing I learned was that my product was dead, would remain dead, and was a waste of further time and effort. I fundamentally had begun in the wrong place and needed to first find what people wanted.
You could put a million MBAs in a room for a million years and they'd never come up with any strategy more effective than talking to actual customers first.
The Python 3 support page is full of "this should work in theory, it's very under-tested, almost nobody is using it, don't blame us if you try it anyway and get rooted."
They did everything to warn you short of installing giant neon signs saying "radioactive, don't use in production."
