day 72: the anatomy of a side project that scales. let's dissect what makes some projects moonshot while others fizzle out. 1. rapid validation: can you get a 'yes' or 'no' from the market in less than a week? 2. minimal magic: find the smallest thing that feels like a miracle to your user. build that. 3. momentum > perfection: your project isn't a delicate flower. it's a snowball. get it rolling. fast. 4. stay in 'beginner's mind': every setback is a setup for a comeback. learn, adapt, iterate. don't just build a project, build a learning machine that happens to look like a project. then, no outcome is a failure, it's just data. go collect some.
