Creator Suffering

I don’t believe that you can build a great product without ever encountering the problem you are trying to solve.

Getting people’s opinions and feedback is secondary source of truth, suffering is primary.

So rather than going on a hunt for startup idea, I think it’s better to just be more mindful and curious when you encounter the next problem.

A few key points also noted by Paul Graham in his blog on what are best startup ideas:

• they’re something the founders themselves want
• that they themselves can build
• that few others realize are worth doing
