This is something that I constantly struggle with and my co founder and I discuss a lot.
I’m always very tempted to just build everything.
Example: We need a URL shortener - let me just put a basic one together over the weekend.
I’m always tempted to build vs buy.
My cofounder says sometimes that being an engineer founder can be bad for this reason - just because you can build something, doesn’t mean you should.
Feels like this article is describing the exact problems Wardley mapping[0] was designed to solve?
