working at a pre-PMF startup requires a change in perspective when it comes to quality. you can't afford to ship everything 95% polished, because you can't afford to invest that much effort in ideas which are likely to flop ship as much quality as it's possible, but not much more until you find PMF. then go WILD

this is on point. another challenge is often the products don't require solving the most complex engineering problems or building the best tech architecture at a pre pMF stage - a lot of engineers end up covering more breadth than depth when they work in such startups. Has a slightly negative impact on motivation.

it’s exactly my experience, but that’s why it requires a perspective shift. If you want to do your “best engineering work” then a pre-pmf startup is not a good fit every choice in life is a trade-off
