Personally, I'd like to contribute something that's just good in quality. The world has so many poor quality "MVP" products and solutions out there, I'd like to do something solid. Of course, it requires much more work than the hacked together MVP approach - hence the requirement to work hard.

MVP isn't about not working hard, it's about getting something out sooner to validate that there is a market. You then put the hard work into a product that is more likely to succeed.

  I don't want a product that just "succeeds" (in monetary terms). I want to make something that is not of questionable/poor quality. I guess it's about the difference between a craftsman and a businessman. Businessmen are happy selling poor quality products to customers, as long as the hit to reputation does not endanger their profits. Craftsmen won't be happy doing it, even if they can get away with it. And I get the fact that, if you're making a product that's never been done before, then MVP releases are partly about market research. Not all software is innovative though, and often you just want to produce a good contender on the market that's already established (say, like the Sublime Editor). In such case, there's no need for the MVP approach. The fact of the matter is that there's tons of successful products, that are way past their MVP phase, which never stopped sucking from technical standpoint. Heck, I'm watching Netflix on its Windows app right now, and the app has serious issues.

    Nature works with MVPs, that's why you have fingers on your feet and an appendix that has a tendency to inflame. Perhaps by the time your solid, perfect solution is out, society will have moved on. Solutions aren't permanent - we want artificial organs now, but if you take too long to get them into market, by the time you do we'll all have robotic organs already. Reality moves fast and everything is an MVP, a means to an end. I know by solid you don't mean perfect though, just trying to give a different perspective.
