Day 4: MVP Mistakes Developers Make That Kill Startup

Your MVP isn’t supposed to be perfect. It’s supposed to prove that your idea solves a real problem.

Yet developers often make the same mistakes: building too much, choosing technology for the wrong reasons, polishing before getting feedback, and adding features nobody asked for.

In this video, I break down 4 common MVP mistakes developers make and how to avoid them:

1. 🚫 Building login, settings & admin panels before the core feature
2. 🛠️ Choosing a tech stack because it’s fun instead of fast
3. 🎨 Polishing the UI before real users test the product
4. ➕ Adding features because “someone might want them”

Your MVP should solve one problem for one specific type of person.

If you can’t explain what your MVP does in one sentence, it might not be minimal enough.

Most Data Breaches Aren't Hackers, It's This Mistake

Most "hacking" stories start with something way more boring: a forgotten test account with a weak password sitting in production. Here's why cleaning that up matters more than any firewall. New build series "0 to Shipped" every Friday, daily dev tips here.

The mindset shift that changed how I approach every software project: stopping the question "is this technically impressive" and asking instead "does this actually work for the person using it." Impressive and useful aren't the same thing, and learning that early in your career saves years of building the wrong things well.
