I wish I'd see advice where they prioritize having a roadmap, milestones, an actual plan of execution, after Product Market Fit (PMF) has been found. And before you find PMF, any concern for hiring the 'best engineers', building a 'solid foundation' is moot.

I feel I'm going insane expecting product people to put the time in to define the requirements and context; I get weird looks asking startups about the plan for the next week. "That's how startups do it" is just the most bullshit excuse I keep hearing constantly regarding lack of planning.



"That's how startups do it" is the startup equivalent to "That's how we always did it" at big companies. And both approaches suck equally.
