Is there ever a valid substitute for writing code? Eg building a simple manual version that delivers the same value prop before writing any code

Isn’t coding some features a sidequest in itself? How do you categorize and prioritize these?

Do you have any tips/recommendations on how to find people who can ship fast? Or is that something that you can only tell after seeing someone work? Building a strong team has always been challenging for me, and I usually just end up doing most of the work on my own. Curious if you have found any repeatable metrics to look for when it comes to shipping fast.

>avoid side quests awh man @arfonzo I am being personally attacked However, excellent advice all round here. 3 & 5 are my essentials. If your small team needs lots of meetings, you need a smaller team. And if you build out a dev/test & ci/cd pipeline early in product dev, you'll literally 3x your delivery speed

Would love to hear more thoughts on “shipping fast” – specifically, how do you balance accruing code debt with delivering features? Because on some time horizon, code debt will make you move slower. Do you have a philosophy around making these kinds of trade-offs?

The NO BS take, incoming!🛁 Ship fast, optimize for speed, but 2 years later: - video is unusable, images meh - no scheduling - no long form - can’t post a damn meme. in crypto. in 2024. Avoid side quests: - hello Rituals - hello “bye PowerBadge” Founders should do product, sales, recruiting and management: - companies also have marketing (comms, community)

if you ship faster, does that increase the risk of burnout, or does the momentum keep you energized? curious about your take on this.

flick the dev 🎩📦

big fan of the use of the daily standup for getting everyone synced regularly, even if there is some ceremony big fan of finding and fixing things that needed fixing, even more if there's absolutely no ticket 😉 lastly ship it fast, THEN (if it lives) make it work well, and lastly (and really optionally) make it beautiful
