Worthy read for all modern software builders.
Something that has been top of mind for me:
There’s a quieter consequence here that doesn’t get talked about much. When experimentation becomes the primary decision-making tool, a strong product vision becomes optional.
This is something a lot of us feel as we work on software applications. However, money is such a huge motivator that we often stay true to the path of “we’re here to make money so let’s do that”. Easy to get vision based bets wrong. Hard to call it a failure when you can see more transactions flowing in.
I do love using software applications that’s exercised restraint. That’s how a creator pours their love into what they made.
