Building a physical product, launching, getting feedback. They’re in the arena and regardless of how bad the initial offering is it’s more than sitting on the sidelines demanding Skunk Works from others.
- threeseed 2y agoSo in your world the idea is to launch alpha quality products as early as possible. Ovens that leak gas, cars where the wheel comes off, games where you only get 10 minutes in etc. Personally, I prefer how the world actually works where you have user testing sessions, beta programs, quality management etc.

- yinser 2y agoConsumer software is the farthest thing from the regulation of the products you just mentioned. Is there a gun to your head to buy a Rabbit?

My entire career was a result of this process in early 2008. Today we live in inflated VC realm of promises, big statements and low delivery. It is not about demanding on a side lines. Some of us still produce quality by following the proven methodology from the past. To push to market R&D projects and demand applause is pathetic. And no. There is no place for PC in this. It is about time to wake up from the AI Utopia. And the cleansing process is going on as we speak. Corporations reached the limitation of participation trophies and DEI agenda.
