The Importance of Shipping in Design

Designers in startups must focus on shipping products to succeed, as the majority of startups fail. Embracing the iterative nature of design prevents designers from becoming overly sentimental about their work. This practice allows them to experiment, learn, and adapt quickly to user feedback, ultimately leading to successful outcomes.
