There's been a change in sentiment here. Just build the Product is still neat advice that needs to be repeated. Sometimes we get too caught up with the plan, perfectititis, and only ever fantasize about building it.

In contrast, the more experience you get building products, the more your repertoire of problems grows. You start to realize that the code is only one part of the problem. Interacting with people is what makes or breaks your product. So, you plan better, you meet the right people to talk to, you figure out when to outsource and when to do things yourself. You take more time to build stuff.

But, you can't do any of that unless you first build a product.
