I read/listened to Lean Startup back in 2014. Reading it helped me realize many of the mistakes I had made in my previous startup, mistakes I made even though I thought I understood the “Lean startup” philosophy by osmosis.
Indeed, “Lean Startup” is a movement whose terminology has spread much faster than its content, creating a poisoned well that inoculates people against learning
Anyway, this post was a nice review! I had to guess on some of the questions, which is probably good; if I’m successful, it means I really internalized it. Thanks!

For example, the term “minimum viable product” has been mutated to have a meaning emphasizing the “minimum” over the “product,” making it harder to spread the actual intended idea. I blogged about this a long time ago: http://www.pathsensitive.com/2015/10/the-prototype-stereotype.html
