I used to be in the camp that posting a bunch of half baked junk online was the wrong move. I'd think to myself, "What if someone sees it and shits all over it"?

Realistically though, nobody fucking cares. Nobody will even see your work, or click the login, or get far enough to realize that you've published a pile of dogshit.

And if they do, that's great! That's awesome feedback actually! Because it means that you've found something that people hate so much that they can list out their grievances with your AI dogshit SaaS app. And then you can improve.

But if you stay put, and don't ship anything until it's perfect, nobody will see that either. And that's just as bad! Shipping a bunch of what you think is still slop will give you 3 things:

Frequent at-bats. An idiot in motion makes more progress than a genius at rest. And even if nobody sees it, that's fine!…
