What to Build First

The first version should do one thing so well that a small group can’t live without it.

The mistake is building a little of everything. The move is building all of one thing — the single job that, done well, earns a devoted few.

This piece will cover:

  • Finding the one job that matters
  • Depth over breadth in v1
  • What to consciously leave out

Working draft — an outline for now; the full version is coming.
