Rain makes people cautious, perhaps afraid even π¨.
We tend to start driving slower, walk slower.
People use all sorts of precautions that prevent us from getting wet βοΈ.
Some even don't go outside at all when it rains π±.
Negative Feedback is Our Rain
Fear for negative feedback is the "rain" for product makers.
It's what keeps us from shipping product. What makes us want to build all these kind of protections. Add features just to make sure people will "like" what you're building.
It keeps us from providing the value that we are envisioning for people through the products that we're creating for others.
How about we start to use that same rain in your advantage?
.
Chances are, you get from A to B faster when everybody is hiding inside π
°οΈ>>>π
±οΈ.
Perhaps you even meet new people and gain new insights π©π½βππ¨π»βπ while sheltering in a door opening alongside the same sidewalk where you always mindlessly walk past thousands of strangers normally.
Toughen the f*ck up
The same counts for us product makers. Don't be afraid of the rain. Use it to your advantage πͺπ».
Who cares if you get a little wet, or get some negative feedback on your product? Learn from it what you can, and put it behind you otherwise.
It's time to ship your product. Stop procrastinating. Toughen the f*ck up πͺπ»π₯.
Dare to get wet. Smell the air as it's holding more oxygen than ever while it rains.
Code Hard, but Ship your product oh so harder and, in return for your bravery, you'll get the most valuable feedback that is out there:
It's time to ship ladies and gentlemen. The time to keep hiding behind your code is over.
