I think part of why we underestimate difficulty is, it's hard to see anything but the happy path. The complications are harder to anticipate. And for each of the solutions to a problem, we also only think of the happy path to solving it. And so on.
- rozenmd 2y agoI'm 3.5 years into building the uptime monitoring + status page solution I wanted to see in the world, I'd argue the "core" part took a weekend to get into an MVP state. The trick is the other 99% that non-early adopters need to feel like the solution is for them (user management, audit logs, and other SaaS table-stakes features). In short, "we do this not because it is easy, but because we thought it would be easy".
