- gdltec 16y agoTrue... only if I was asking for permission. It is very valuable to me to get feedback (not permission) from as many people as I can, I know I will get many different opinions and each one of them has some value to me and hopefully others.
- markstansbury 16y agoThere is an interesting dynamic between feedback and permission. In some ways they are the same thing. No one needs permission to launch, but it's good to have feedback saying you can. No one needs permission to apply solo to YC, but it's good to get feedback that says your app won't be dismissed out of hand. Think of it as niche market research.
