I blame the insane culture springing up around inaccurate and ill-conceived interpretations of the lean startup methodology. Many young entrepreneurs and early-stage startups seem entrenched in a mindset that they must be pivoting or iterating or using all their runway or sumsuch similar nonsense.
The word "pivot" should be banned from tech startup lexicon.

If one really learns "lean" methodology, MVP really is IVP, but no one seems willing to actually pause and learn. Sad.
