It just has to work

This article discusses how teams, especially in startups, often get stuck trying to 'do things the right way' with perfect processes, leading to nothing being shipped. It argues that momentum beats consensus, and that creating a 'good enough' version—like a one-page spec or prototype—triggers faster feedback and progress. The author emphasizes that incremental progress, clear success criteria, and a willingness to delete work are key to moving forward. The post is relevant to software development, product management, and tech startup culture, focusing on shipping, iteration, and learning over perfection.
