10,000 hours

It’s almost 5pm and I just returned from an hour-long walk. I’ve been up since 7am chasing the remaining bugs on my checklist.

Those were the nitty-gritty edge cases that need to be addressed if I want the app to be usable.

People praise shipping fast.

Actually, I think it’s either you ship, or you market and seek validation.

So many features could be validated through a simple mock-up or design instead of building them and then showing them off.

Only experience can tell whether you should build or whether you should “draw and show,” because building is going to take too much time.

The more time I spend working, the more instinctively I see what my next steps should be and what I could have done differently.

I love this feeling. The feeling of knowing that each day I grow more as an entrepreneur, a solo founder, and as a human.

I’ve obsessed over the 10,000 hours rule ever since reading Mastery by Robert Greene a few years ago. I’ll probably keep thinking about this even after I reach my 10,000 hours.
