Advice for a first-time founder when a launch does not meet expectations

If your launch does not go as planned, do not judge it too quickly.
Avoid the instinct to immediately add more features or pivot the product.

Instead, pause and evaluate what already exists.
Check whether the core features are clearly communicated, fully polished, and genuinely solve the intended problem.
Often, the issue is not the idea, but the execution, positioning, or user experience.

Refine what you have. Improve clarity, usability, onboarding, and messaging.
Then relaunch with focus and confidence.

Many products fail not because they were wrong, but because they were unfinished, unclear, or rushed.

Stop fighting AI coding agents. Make them fight for you.

I juggle Claude Code, Gemini CLI, and Codex daily. Here's what actually works:

  • The secret is context engineering feed AI code that works, it writes code that works

  • Use open-source aggressively. Load proven repos with /add-dir as context

  • Debugging servers? Let AI call your APIs directly it catches errors in real-time, not you describing symptoms for hours

  • Stuck with one agent? Switch mid-task without losing context
