Building Differently

Everyone is focused on ship, ship, ship.

Everyone is focused on MVP.

Everyone wants to get out the door as quickly as possible.

You sacrifice so much by doing that. You end up with an exponentially complex network of services that you have to manage that you’ll be coupled to indefinitely. You have tech debt that you will never be able to get out from underneath. You released quickly but you’re fragile forever.

People can’t get over that good things take time.

Everything worthwhile doing is hard.

The final 10%, 5%, 1% get exponentially harder. But those minute details, that last bit of polish, that’s what makes the difference.

People can tell.
