Founder MindsetEmerging Pattern

Ship to real users within one weekend to start the feedback loop

Bias toward shipping quickly and getting in front of users beats endless planning. Even rough versions with 10 users teach more than months of planning.

When to use

When you have an idea and are stuck in planning or perfection mode

Don't do this

Spending weeks refining before getting any user feedback
