I'll thank OP for sharing, it always takes courage to admit failures. There was a thought provoking article (can't find the link) that made the rounds here recently about the "guy who'll never actually build his startup", describing someone who's always going through ideas and says he'll find the perfect idea one day. The article concluded with encouraging people to just build it. While that type of person exists and there is a harm to overanalyzing, this serves as the converse. Someone who just jumps into ideas without validating them. At the end of the day, a lot, actually most, ideas are bad, we shouldn't just pretend enough HardWork will overcome that. We should encourage people to brutally validate their ideas early, it'll save you a lot of time.
