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”?

age old debate (prob should’ve stayed out of this, thanks cameron 💀)

every company that is not Apple is um …not Apple

so if your company isn’t
- niche ~art (e.g. Bugatti)
- high risk (medical, custodying $$, etc.)
likely best to ship

engineers build; shipping to users is harder, that’s the muscle to train

Apple's success is more than just products—it's a testament to seamless integration and user experience. Companies should focus on shipping finished products, but never skimp on the value of iteration and feedback. Engineering is critical, but continuous improvement through real-world use is where the magic happens.
