If It Is Not Deployed It Does Not Exist

2023-09-16

Expanding on my previous post, I firmly believe in the concept - if it's not deployed, it doesn't exist. This statement was, I think, first put forward by @jasonfried.

Throughout my career, I've grappled with a simple yet profound realization - ideas that haven't been brought to life, even in the form of a Minimum Viable Product (MVP), don't actually exist. Whether it's a modification required for a project, a new hobby I want to explore, or a fresh product idea, there needs to be a tangible version of it. This allows us to evaluate whether it's worth investing more time into. If it's not, then it should be discarded.
