Lounge S3: Designers

Since it’s the topic du jour on the purple app…

What’s the right balance between “ship and iterate” and “build something great first”?

weird internet kid. helping Creators with /seemore. yapping on /okbanger. curating in /creators and /cameron. dev + veteran + HBS.

Isn't entirely dependent on competition?
different verticals can handle different levels of quality...

In entertainment you can't ship embarrassing stuff... Even good won't cut it...

I sorta think it’s a matter of creativity of “shipping fast” in entertainment 

Comedians run jokes many times at comedy clubs before they do a special

YouTubers make the thumbnails before the video

Authors tweet concepts before their write about them

All of these are iteration cycles 🤷‍♂️

Just to yourself no, but every time you ask a friend to read a script or review a draft you’re shipping a beta version. 

My macro thesis about entertainment is that digital creators get orders of magnitude more reps than the offline/trad media creators which is why online content quality is skyrocketing vs old media

Shipping fast to yourself doesn't count as "shipping" does it?

Social media and standup comedy I guess. Otherwise it's all private rehearsals, and drafts after drafts. You don't ship art that's not ready.. 💀 but it is also maybe why film, books, AAA games are all in existential crisis...
