Q & A / Main Topics to Discuss

How much to let reality (or the perception of reality) get in the way of a good idea

• How much to research product ideas.
• How to decide where to invest our most valuable resources as developers (e.g. time).
• What is the ultimate goal?
• For me a related question is: how do I be myself (a bit of a realist) without seeming like a debbie downer all the time.
