The Superpower of Shipping Fast
Developing the ability to ship features rapidly is essential for SaaS founders. Many developers struggle with perfectionism, but the emphasis should be on cutting corners when necessary to get products out the door. An example shared highlights a project where the team released initial features incrementally rather than waiting to complete everything, leading to improved user engagement and retention. Thus, finding a balance between quality and speed while being willing to reduce scope can greatly influence the success of an early-stage SaaS business.
