The Hardest Part of Building Is Knowing When to Stop

October 2022

Sometimes you spend weeks adding features that no one asked for. Just cos it feels clever. Then launch day comes and users don’t care.

I’ve learned to stop earlier. Ship the basics. Make sure it works. Then improve slowly. Doesn’t need to be perfect at version 1.

I used to delay launches just to add one more function or optimise a tiny bit of gas. No one noticed. But they did notice bugs and bad UX.

Now I focus on clean logic and clear usage. If users understand what it does and how to use it, that’s enough for launch.

The rest can wait.
