That 80/20 idea is one of the worst startup killers I know. If you were my boss I'd be putting on my parachute and heading for the airstairs and expecting to see a plume of smoke wherever you impact.

You don't have to do 100% of what anybody might want, but you have to accomplish 100% of a minimal viable product and some of that is grindy and unglamorous. People who set out to do the easy 80% just don't get to the MVP.

Edgar Hoover is in charge.

[1] sometimes non-trivial though, they might bring in an undercover agent who is peripherally involved, interview them, find nothing they don't already know, but it is possible this person could be the subject of retribution decades later if their undercover role is known

Personally I like AVR8 assembly but the systems I make are very small.
