Yeah ok. The moral to this story is “don’t fuck up”. Would be great if that was realistic.

  It does have a good point about "think hard about how to catch negative value actions" but yeah beyond that it's as realistic as the tennis metaphor

  That wasn't my take away. > The most common is deciding to “fix” a problem that doesn’t matter, or that doesn’t exist at all. Don't fix things that aren't broken. > The general solution to unforced errors is to ruthlessly prioritize.

    OP here, thanks for reading! You hit the nail on the head. Put more casually, there are a lot of startup problems that arise due to people fiddling around with stuff that should have just been left alone (I always picture my parents yelling at my siblings and I as kids to "stop touching that"). In many cases, attempting to fix a problem is strictly worse for your startup's health than not touching things at all.
