The lower layers will keep sucking you down into them if you aren't careful.

  • The lower layers will keep sucking you down into them if you aren't careful.
    • Especially if you're trying to do something novel that is not just building off of someone else's platform, but constructing your own.
    • Your attention will sift down to the bottom and focus disproportionately at the lowest layers.
      • After all, the lower layers have significant implications for the upper layers.
    • But in novelty, it's the upper layers being viable that matters the most.
      • Rough in something good enough at the lower layers, find PMF at the upper layers, and then continuously evolve / improve the lower layers based on the real world usage.
