Effort Wasted On The Wrong Problem

I noted that a product nobody uses is just an “expensive diary”. This reinforces the principle that building for readers, not for oneself, avoids wasted effort.

I argue that “hustle culture” and “building something people want” are not the same thing; conflating them leads to wasted effort.

You can work 14 hours a day on the wrong problem.

Effort isn’t direction.

I’ve noticed founders spend more time choosing a tech stack than choosing a customer.

One of those matters a lot more than the other.

The most expensive thing in tech is perfecting something that shouldn’t exist.
