Hello builders,
If you’ve been following recent Twitter discussions, you might have noticed the (bad) buzz around ShipFast by Marc Louvion.
It came under fire for security issues that allowed users to access his product for free (fixed now).
This made me think of the following question for SaaS creators: should you launch quickly to test the waters, or make sure every detail is perfect before going live?
By every detail, I mean more than security.
This is a frequent conversation between me and my business partner to arbitrate priorities. She worked for several years for a big corporation to provide highly scalable APIs (called billion times 🤯), secured and every feature went through rigorous testing. Bugs in production weren’t allowed, and I’m not only talking about security. She tends to advocate for a more perfectionist approach than me. I worked in big corp too, I know the challenges but I was more doing MVPs to prove a concept value for clients than deploying in production a critical app.
Now, let’s see the two teams, and we will see they both are corrects, when and why join which team.
