Art's a lot easier to sell than software products.
Lean Startup, the 'premature optimization' that software entrepreneurs do, is an attempt to handle the sales end of a software business in a similar fashion to how the operations end is conducted. If just getting out there and schlepping your wares worked, more people would do it. Obviously shipping early and often is necessary, but if you ship too early then your MVP will be missing the 'V' part.
- caseysoftware 11y agoI think most "premature optimization" that software entrepreneurs do is to avoid actually interacting with people. Payments? Stripe! Support phone number? Forums! Cold calling? Self-service platform! There is so much to be gained from talking and interacting with potential and current customers and most of us - myself included - avoid it way too often.
