I largely agree with your comment, minus this. Unless everything after the initial idea for a product is an "optimisation" - which is quite a claim - building something shouldn't be lumped together with optimising it.
My point is that it seems like you're attributing more to this idea than is fair.
- Nevermark 6y agoIts a stretch of the original meaning, but a good one I think. Building a product before a good indication it is the right thing to build is prematurely optimizing a business. At any level of a project, it is important to do things in the right order, to avoid wasting unrecoverable time and effort on work that never needed to be done.
