So I mentioned this because I've launched a new SaaS this week, and while there are a billion things that I would love to change already  and before I launched, I resisted the urge to want to do that because at this point I should know better.\nYou would think then, you know, I still had a place to track all those things. We're using a project management system. Trello got all the things that I think might be worthwhile to change about the product experience, but I didn't let the vast majority of those stop the process of us actually launching.\nSo the question is, the reason for this is because it's very easy to get caught in this as a trap. This is like the perfectionist trap, as I typically refer to it as in my product experience is never ready. It has to be perfect, has to be tested a billion times, has to throw zero errors, or has the potential to throw zero errors.\nNothing needs to be wrong with this thing By the time that I'm launch  now, I get it. If you've been here, I've been here. And it is still something you always have to do your best to try to keep in check. Having said that, anything that goes beyond what I typically call launching at 75%, like we always ship at 75%, is to try to avoid falling into the strap because you can be stuck here forever, as in perfecting a product is not really a thing that's even theoretically possible...","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/B0rBF_s0upJdRqXoy4_4rHlfSlZONOaHnrUmmpOi708/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9kYmIx/MTMxNTExY2VjZjIz/NjEzNWFhNmI4OGZl/ZDliMy5wbmc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
