If you're building even a D2C product,
I say sell it and then see how much you actually need to produce.
And if you're late on orders, just give the customer another free like t-shirt or something or whatever you're building to make them feel happy and like not be upset that the order was late.
That way you're actually testing demand for the product before wasting so much money and so much time developing just for it to flop.
Yeah, exactly.
I almost think it's an excuse.
I think that people believe that something needs to be perfect in order for it to work.
And when it's not perfect, they blame it on the fact that it's not perfect.
And I see this with tech founders all the time, too, where it's like, OK, cool, like we just need to A-B test our way into it being perfect for the product to work.
But sometimes the sum of all parts doesn't equal a whole, right?
Like you can A-B test to have higher signup rates than like
hire, like engagement, et cetera.
But at the end of the day, like there's only so much that can fix.
Like you probably need an entirely new feature, which is not really A-B testable.
Yeah, I think that it really is just an excuse.
I mean, I think it's all a function of like, what are the consequences, right?
I generally believe that a lot of products could not have been created without taking risks.
So for example, I think Uber obviously didn't really listen to anyone and they became so big that now it just exists.
I was actually talking to Stripe founders and I don't remember what rule they broke, but...
Even Stripe apparently broke some rules and then they just became too big to fail and like they just had to make it work.
