TEAM GROWTHLY NOTE • 3 MIN READ

SHOW THE UNFINISHED VERSION

Waiting until something looks good makes feedback arrive too late. Show the rough version. Let someone point out what you missed. Then make the next version better.

// CORE TAKEAWAY

“Feedback is more useful before the work is finished.”

We hold onto work because of vanity. We want the reveal to be triumphant; we want people to see how clever we are.

The consequence is that you spend forty hours polishing an architectural mistake that a friend could have pointed out in thirty seconds on day one.

Show the wireframe. Show the broken layout. Show the half-written paragraph. The courage to look foolish early is what lets you build durable things fast.
