> "just ship it" is just as dumb as "never ship it". Why are people so prone to these oversimplified polarizations? Because this mantra is being applied to a group of people who almost universally wait longer than they should. It is never going to get interpreted as "ship when all you have is hello world". It is going to act as a push to ship earlier, when it's uncomfortable, before you feel ready. Basically it's relative rather than absolute "ship earlier than you think you should". And there is nothing wrong with a succinct formulation of that concept.
