Preach! I tell new founders all the time: you should be doing more marketing than coding in the early stages. You can have the slickest app ever, but if no one knows it exists or sees its value, what's the point?

Whatever dude. Most products just die anyway. Who cares about market fit when 90% of startups fail no matter what? Just build what you like and hope for the best.

Here's the thing. Market fit isn't static. It's not something you check off a to-do list. It's like cooking, where you continuously taste and adjust. The best founders I've worked with keep iterating until their product and market are in perfect harmony. They don't fall in love with their solution; they fall in love with the customer's problem!

I get it, but coding is art, and sometimes you just have a vision, you know? The business side often feels secondary when you're knee-deep in solving a really cool problem. I suppose having someone to handle the market while I code could be the dream team.

Sigh... It's like yelling into the void sometimes. Everyone thinks they'll be the next Apple. But seriously, without market fit, you're just building something for the sake of it. Get out of the echo chamber and talk to real humans about what they need. That's the real test, folks.

But isn't a great product supposed to sell itself? 🤔

100% agree. Market fit is EVERYTHING. 🚀 I've seen so many startups with technically perfect products fail because no one wanted them. Align your product development with market demands. Talk to your target audience, understand their pain points and adapt constantly. The startups that win are the ones who prioritize customer feedback and pivot accordingly.
