Founder Playbook
Product
“that's how I avoid building unwanted features I have tons of feedback about potential features for p fast and what made it successful is because I built it for myself and if I listen to all those feedbacks I'm going to build a very complex boiler plate and I do not do that instead I use it for myself”
Dogfood as feature filter — ignore the wishlist, eat your own work
Marc gets endless feature requests for ShipFast and rejects almost all of them. The filter: only features he hits while shipping his own products get added back. Customer wishlists bloat boilerplates into Frankenstein products — personal use is the discipline that keeps them lean.
