very nicely put. at different stages of the poker tournament (time), chips (funds), cards (strategy), your behavior and options drastically differ. and I think back to your point about knowing the buyer being critical. there is also a huge barrier/cost to acquiring that information in some spaces, and often you can get false signals from your potential buyers. As engineers than the best products we create is the one we solve for ourselves. My strength is not in cold calling/reaching out to ppl on linkedin/customer development interviews. It's intuition. but does it affect the outcome, does having a stronger intuition and your discipline to follow it result in a successful outcome compared to when you don't? I think the question is then what comes first, luck or intuition?
