And I know that I just need to like dial up on my intuition. And, like, just, like, tune out the noise. And I think especially with Sublime, where I am building the product I wish I had, the more I hear other people's opinions, the further I get from, like, what I actually want. So I think last year I overdosed on feedback. I did over 1,000 onboarding calls. And this year I want the opposite.

Like if you take feedback from everybody, you're reverting to the mean.

You know, I think that like being a founder is like this very like schizophrenic experience where you're going from like abstract Figma screens to like, you know, like...
