Most founders treat their MVP like an expense.
Get it built. Ship it fast. Keep costs down.
It makes sense on paper.
Until you’re two months in, and the product doesn’t work.
Not because of bugs — but because of bad logic.
Offshoring your MVP is a bet that the spec is right.
But when you’re early, the spec is never right.
The magic isn’t in the implementation.
It’s in the iteration.
And if you’re not close to the build?
You can’t iterate fast enough.
You can’t spot the holes.
You can’t course correct.
Now you’ve got a bloated, confused repo.
No clarity. No traction. Just a prettier version of your last assumption.
Founders shouldn’t fear code.
They should fear distance.
The further away you are from the build, the more dangerous your assumptions become.
Close the gap.
Get your hands dirty.
Work with people who help you think, not just code.
