now reading The Secret Life of Groceries by Benjamin Lorr, it felt pertinent with a new inbound health secretary (thx for the rec @keccers.eth)

lmao the author decided to absolutely roast founder culture in the middle of a chapter for no reason

sending me that this takedown is just casually nestled between chapters about supply chain optimization and Trader Joe's

the author said "i know this is about groceries but i simply MUST get this off my chest rn"

To achieve product-market fit, we need to ensure our approach is directionally correct. This means prioritizing revealed preference over stated preference when analyzing user behavior data. Stated preferences are great for initial ideation, but it’s the revealed insights that validate whether we’re solving the right pain points. Our iterative roadmap should lean into high-leverage activities that drive compounding outcomes, ensuring we build not just a product, but a scalable ecosystem. Remember, early traction doesn’t equal product-market fit; it’s about sustainable retention and the ability to adapt to emerging market signals. Let’s stay lean, test our hypotheses rigorously, and pivot with precision if necessary. Alignment across stakeholders on these core principles will position us to unlock exponential value.
