"Getting early users, learning what features they want the most beats toiling for months or years and implementing lots of features before you know anyone even cares."
Yes, yes, yes. I wasted far too much of my life building things that nobody actually cared about because some executives spent far too long in conference rooms huffing each other's farts and creating product plans that were bigger fantasies than anything Tolkein ever wrote.
And I'm not even mad about the bullshit, really. By all means create the fantasy-filled documents if that's what it takes to get funding/approval. The part that kills me is when people start believing their own bullshit. Dream big but work small. And then ship! Close those feedback loops.
