Iterative Building
"Perfect" is the enemy of "Done".
I see so many builders get stuck in the planning phase. They want the architecture to be flawless, the design to be pixel-perfect, and the database schema to be future-proof for the next 10 years.
By the time they launch, the market has moved on.
Ship to Learn
You don't actually know what you're building until users touch it.
- Build: Create the Minimum Viable Product (MVP). Not "Minimum Broken Product", but the smallest thing that delivers value.
- Ship: Get it live. Localhost doesn't count.
- Iterate: Listen to feedback. Fix bugs. Add features that people actually ask for.
The Loop
I've learned more from shipping broken code and fixing it in production than I ever did from reading documentation. The fear of breaking things keeps you stagnant.
Break things. Fix them. That's how you grow. That's how software gets built.
