The success of the "24 hour startup" challenge is not about startups
A thread
👇Read on
- This isn't a *insert name of type of event* (eg. startup)
- It's not meaningful to build in X amount of time
- Using the term X isn't accurate
Really, both sides tend to have a point.
Getting someone get their first taste of building something isn't to be scoffed at though.
It's longer-form than a tweet or back-and-forth on Reddit/Hacker News.
So he can actually make a nuanced point.

- Constraint breeds creativity
- Shipping helps in ways you don't expect
- Empowering people to think they can achieve is the start of the journey
Would @patwalls have done so well without the "startup" in his two 24 hour startups?
Stretching the meaning of a word so that hundreds of people feel the impetus to do something that's out of their comfort zone likely outweighs some backlash from Reddit/Hacker News types
Where self-funding, bootstrapping and keeping costs low to maximise profit are core beliefs.
Does it make sense to use a term usually associated with funding and growth over profit?
Hundreds of individuals in the space contributed and used this as an opportunity to go beyond what they do in their day to day.
Great work @thepatwalls and the entire team of #24hrstartup

Unfortunately the "This work includes the identification of viral sequences in bat samples, and has resulted in the isolation of three bat SARS-related coronaviruses that are now used as reagents to test therapeutics and vaccines." were BEFORE the

https://t.co/krO69CsJ94 is in 2013, RsWIV1. notice that this is before the beginning of the project
starting in 2016. Also remember that they told about only 3 isolates/live viruses. RsSHC014 is a live infectious clone that is just as alive as those other "Isolates".
P.D. somehow is able to use funds that he have yet recieved yet, and send results and sequences from late 2019 back in time into 2015,2013 and 2016!
