SvN Flashback: Essential vs. Non-Essential
February 7, 2006 – When you build an app always look out for the non-essential features. Make sure they don’t make it into your v1.0. They slow down your release, they dilute your focus, they require resources that pull you away from perfecting the core of your app, and they open the door to more bugs at launch.

Still great. I worked with a startup that spent over a year building up to their first release. The owner kept “pivoting” and “rebranded” at least once.
I explained that they needed to ship. SHIP . Just ship it.
They never launched.
