į … Founder Tip: Never hire a developer before doing this You're excited. You’ve got an idea. You want to hire a dev and build the app. Stop. That’s how 90% of startup money vanishes. Here’s what to do before writing a single line of code: 1. Write a spec anyone can understand Forget technical lingo. Describe the core user flow in plain English. Ex: ā€œUser enters phone number → gets a list of tutors nearby → books a free trial.ā€ 2. Sketch it out Use pen and paper, or a tool like Figma. Walk people through it. Does it make sense? Would they use it? 3. Validate with real people Show the mockup to 10 target users. Ask: ā€œWould you use this today?ā€ If 7+ say no, fix it first. 4. Find a no-code workaround Before you hire, see if you can simulate your product using Google Forms, Notion, or Zapier. Test demand first. 5. Get commitment, not just compliments ā€œNice ideaā€ means nothing. Look for: pre-orders, email signups, demo requests. Something real. Once you’ve done this, then find a dev. And now you’ll know exactly what to build—no guesswork.

Most devs rush into building. I refuse to code blind. Got a client brief today—one doc, half-clear, generic features. So I built the smallest core flow, shipped it for approval, and stopped there. No guessing, no wasted work, no building miles out
