Crafting software is like.. building a house.

You can try building it without a blueprint or plans or an architect or qualified tradespeople and it will almost always cost you much more and you will have constant issues.

Second, just because you can build a shed without a blueprint, doesn’t mean you should build a house without a blueprint.

Would you buy a house, or want to work on a house that was built without a blueprint?

Ok, Ok.  But startups are different.  You can’t get caught up in analysis paralysis.  True.  You shouldn’t also go without a rough map.  Don’t stand still, and don’t run like a madman in 10 directions at the same time.

Pick a path, a philosophy and why you’ll be making certain decisions.  And let it guide you.  You’ll know when you’re overdoing a room in the house or spending too much time on a closet when you still need to build a bathroom or a kitchen.
