Planning an MVP pilot? Invite people who already handle the problem with a spreadsheet or a manual routine. Their workaround is the benchmark the product has to beat.
Packing an interface with features that serve your idea of the user vs their behavior only benefits your competition.

I build this tool, so my first guess was the interface.
Made it simpler.
Fewer screens, bigger button.
Shortened the onboarding too, which helped nothing but felt productive.
The freeze stayed.

Technical debt can quietly change a startup’s product roadmap. A feature may look simple, but outdated architecture, fragile integrations, or database limitations can make it much harder to build. foundersbar.com
Test the sample. Refine the product. Then scale with confidence.
Early-stage engineering is mostly deciding what not to build. A smaller surface area means fewer bugs, faster learning, and more room to change direction when reality disagrees with the roadmap. #Startup #BuildInPublic #ProductDevelopment

2/ What we found rewrote how we think about judgment on AI-assisted work. The fix was one rule: nothing ships without an explanation attached.

I expected AI to make coding PhysioTracker faster. What surprised me was how much it sped up scoping, testing and even the temptation to add more.
That made prioritisation feel even more important.
I wrote about what I learned, here:

Startup requirements will change. The key is not avoiding change, but understanding its impact on budget, timelines, architecture, testing, and existing functionality before accepting it.

Version one broke.
Two and three got closer, then hit the same wall: the tools weren't ready.
By the fourth build they finally were.
Investors assumed a long build meant a slow builder.
Sometimes it means the idea showed up early.

I built the same product four times before it worked.
The idea came to me in a dream.
I know how that sounds.

Your app doesn't need every feature on day one. Vibe coding is great, but without a clear MVP you build features nobody asked for. Build the core, expand later. #MVP #VibeCoding #ProductDevelopment
Tothiq isn't only a services company, we build and run six products of our own.
It changes the advice. What a feature costs at scale, which integration breaks at 2am, why bilingual is harder than translation: learned from paying the bill.

A good MVP requirements document does more than list features. It explains the users, workflows, business rules, and outcomes developers need to understand before building. foundersbar.com
