I spent the last few months building what I thought was a really cool project. Honestly, I really enjoyed the process - Iām way more of a technical/product-focused person, so writing code and solving problems felt great.
But⦠I completely forgot the part where you validate the idea first.
So here I am, with a shiny piece of tech and now itās time to⦠validate it.
Iām curious - who else has fallen into the ābuild first, validate laterā trap?
What did you end up doing - pivot, double down, or just chalk it up as experience?
Would love to hear your stories.
