The MVP is dead. Long live the RAT. | HackerNoonThere is a flaw at the heart of the term Minimum Viable Product: it’s not a product. It’s a way of testing whether you’ve found a problem worth solving. A way to reduce risk and quickly test your biggest assumption. Instead of building an MVP identify your Riskiest Assumption and Test it. Replacing your MVP with a RAT will save you a lot of pain. 2016-09-27T00:00:00-0700 hackernoon.com Rik Higham 1,000 words Rated 2025-08-24T19:30:39-0700 - sethherr |

Together: The Merb StoryI'll never forget the day that I became a member of the Rails core team. For all of 2008 (and the better part of 2007), I was working on a competitor to Ruby on Rails called Merb. I loved Merb, and was excited to share it with anyone who'd listen, so when I attended RailsConf in 2008, I signed up to give a nighttime Birds of a Feather session about Merb. To be honest, I expected only a handful of people to show up, but I was too excited to let that stop me.
