The key is not to go overboard. As a first-time founder, you don't know when to draw the line and focus on valuable stuff. It's very, very easy to get sucked into minutiae that don't matter at all (been there, done that). That's why I think first-time founders should ignore most engineering best practices and ship the prototype as fast as possible.

Be careful with that, though. You might have an illusion that you're making progress, while in reality, you aren't.

I'm with you on having the fun part!
