This is what I love about Patrick's business. He has it essentially stripped down to the bare essence of marketing and selling software. Everything he does is teachable. We sell a 5-figure enterprise product, and I pay attention to everything he does.

I'm pretty sure he said himself that the actual product was a weekend project for him.

55 hours for version 1.0, but keep in mind, that was the barely functional, ugly, terrible user experience I delivered 3 years ago. Somebody bought it anyway. (He eventually got a refund, but 1.02 sucked a little less, etc etc.)

There may well be a programmer somewhere who could deliver the current site in a weekend, but he sure as heck isn't me. (5k lines of Ruby code, 3k lines of Java code, several hundred pages of content, etc etc.)
