Nikita is smart and world-class at tactics. But hasn’t built anything at-scale or enduring.

"if you're planning a blowout launch..." and so many counter examples.

The distinction he makes here is important: “a blowout launch.” 

That's quite different from a soft release to a handful of early users as you refine the product.

This is an interesting take for consumer products

On the other hand I think builders should aim for feedback as early as possible to not waste time on building the wrong thing

I think this isn’t narrowly defined enough, there are probably certain sectors where first impressions matter more (such as Crypto data platforms) but I don’t think this is wholistic

Most new products dont need a blowout launch. Those who do are usually building in the validated market

It is, but how do you think it applies here? Also, there are always exceptions even if the general rule applies
