Embrace Early Embarrassment

  • Put out content early and iterate; early perfectionism stalls progress.

Fail Forward, Fast Cycles

  • Treat each failure as an isolated data point instead of carrying its weight forward.
  • Use short build-measure-learn cycles (about 14 days) to iterate quickly and avoid overthinking.
