Lessons Every Developer Should Know Before Building a Startup

Developers often build impressive software products, but technical excellence alone doesn't guarantee business success.

Before writing thousands of lines of code, consider these questions:

Who is the customer?
What problem does this solve?
How will users discover the product?
What makes it different?
How will success be measured?

Software development and startup development share many principles:

Iterate frequently
Test assumptions
Gather feedback
Improve continuously

The most successful technical founders combine engineering skills with customer understanding and business strategy.
