Why Most People Overbuild Too Early
Overbuilding is rarely technical.
It’s emotional.
People build complex systems to avoid decisions.
More tools feel like progress.
More structure feels like safety.
In reality, early systems should be boring and replaceable.
The goal is not permanence.
It’s optionality.
Build just enough to move forward — and nothing that locks you in too soon.
