☀️ Good morning

Often times you'd remember something you once thought was true, only to realize that you didn't know well enough.

When that happens, you can either update your thinking or reject it.

Recently, I updated my thinking about Minimum Loveable Product vs Minimum Viable Product.

I now firmly believe that MVP is the right approach, every single time.

And so I wrote about my updated belief, explaining why.

👉 Always Build an MVP (Minimum Viable Product)
