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”?

The balance is different for every context.

The key is that you can’t build something great without feedback (unless you’re a genius or lucky, and even then it can’t last)

This happens a lot with young and early-stage founders.  They get lucky with some early traction and suddenly start to believe they perfectly understand the market on their own.

It’s not enough to make a couple of good product decisions, you need to make good decisions continually. That requires feedback.

“It can’t last” is such an important piece of this whole discussion!
