For me, the hardest part of Shape Up isn't understanding the principles, it's knowing when a pitch is actually done. What's the right level of detail? How do you know if you've shaped enough? This is a reference I made f

True, but is that a strategy problem rather than an operational one? Have they lost the ability to ship, or are they misaligned on what people want? You need both. I'm not sure I know the answer, but it's a very good point! Thanks

We're not talking about building an ecom store, though, are we? We're talking about building useful tools. Small things, that work in a way that makes sense to the individual. Something that could be churned out in a day or two by
