This post scares me because I see so much of myself in it. I can get really wrapped up in the building of a great product, deeply absorbed in the identity of being a craftsman, and grossed out by the “soulless” approach of quick-and-dirty MVPs and iterative market testing. If you’ve ever visited the r/SaaS subreddit, it is the antithesis of what I enjoy about being a software developer. However, if I can manage to change my mentality about market testing and quick, dirty iteration, I know that provides a much better foundation for letting loose and focusing on the craft.
I feel the same way.
