I just watched a live presentation from Threadless CEO Founder Jake Nickell. Jake leads his company out of the great city and Giantnerd HQ’s of Boulder, CO. I am impressed with Jake as an innovator and happen to be a big fan of Threadless!

After watching Jake, I did a little due diligence and found his personal blog. His most recent blog post parallels the Giantnerd philosophy of incremental development changes to our platform. Jake starts off his post by quoting Mark Twain. “Continuous improvement is better than delayed perfection.” Jake goes on to say:

“We are working in short intervals on small chunks of things really quickly…like a few days or a couple of weeks max. After each chunk, we hope to be able to launch whatever the things is we are working on…It’s a fun way to work and in the end, i think you end up with something even better as it is a constantly evolving work in progress rather than something you go into a vacuum on for a few months and hope it works when you launch it.”

In essence, Threadless and Giantnerd are making small changes quickly rather than large changes slowly. In the end, we feel our members benefit from a platform and company that is continuously improving with timely enhancements making for a better overall member experience.

With Love,

The Head Nerd
