I love this post so much! It’s the anti-Lean Startup. There’s this new belief that as soon as you have an idea for a product, it should have been built yesterday. You have to assemble the right team, develop the tech that will deliver and be scalable, test on various user groups, iterate and pivot — and suddenly two years have gone by, and you’re still as committed as ever, with a product that will actually work and serve users’ needs, and ye everyone in the community treats that like failure because you didn’t have an MVP with product-market fit in six months. Not only is patience a virtue, it’s a must to create something sustainable. Thanks, Tim!
