Your MVP isn’t minimum viable. It’s barely breathing. Here’s how to know: You manually check if cron jobs ran. You panic every time Stripe sends a webhook. You copy-paste user data from Airtable to Notion. Your “error handling” is: refresh and pray. This isn’t “hustle.” This is technical debt dressed as grind. What to do instead? 1. Make your product boring. Yes, boring. Predictable. Stable. That’s what users trust. 2. Automate the edge cases. Because the 1% bugs take 99% of your energy. 3. Build internal tools early. Stop doing things manually just because “it’s only 5 minutes.” 4. Track everything. From email sends to database writes. If you don’t track it, you can’t trust it. If your product feels like it’ll break when Sourav Mishra tweets it — you’re not ready to scale. But with the right systems, you can sleep while your startup runs.
