'If you're not embarrassed by the first version of your product, you've launched too late' ethos run amok resulting in things like Humane, Rabbit, Friendtech and others. Like @keccers.eth said on X, is why things like Daylight seem remarkable. Web3 particularly guilty, clunks get but on back-burner, jankiness persists

i've done a complete 180 on this since starting fabric: v hard getting people to care about your product, even if its well executed. impossible if its a half-baked turd

if you're gonna create something, respect the game and make it great

taking too long? reduce scope not quality

Amen

I think this is a zeitgeist shift. @hyper also had a similar cast recently re: YC propaganda about iteration

Feels like an un/bundling cycle and we’re going back to the phase of beautiful, deliberate products that cut through the noise of crap from the move fast break things phase
