What about when you are trying to decide whether or not to throw effort at a concept? Before the alpha/beta/ etc?

- edw519 18y agoAll the more reason. Getting deep insight from half a dozen key people takes no more effort than many other kinds of "basic research". IMHO, it's an excellent expenditure of resources. Good feedback -> all the more reason to go gung-ho, bad feedback -> save yourself a lot of grief later. How many excellent products never saw the light of day because of lack of demand? I'd do everything I could to prevent that from happening.
- DenisM 18y agoThat's why it's super important that you can hack up a prototype very quickly. It may help to learn a RAD tool, or Lisp.
- edw519 18y agoAbsolutely. I consider "hacking up a prototype" part of analysis, not development.
