I feel like this post mistakes advice for directive. Most of the great founders I've encountered are excellent pattern-matching engines who can absorb large quantities of advice and then re-apply it within their personal contexts rather than rejecting it outright, ex post facto or not. No you probably don't need to live with your users, but yes you should probably spend significant time with them doing the thing your company is trying to help them do better. Putting advice to work is more than regurgitation... then again, if your company's goal is to normalize short-term living with strangers well then yeah, you probably should live with a few.
