What has building your first product taught you?

I’ve been working on my first product for about a year, and the experience has taught me how important patience, consistency, and listening to others can be.

Some days bring exciting progress, while other days are spent fixing small details that nobody else may notice. Either way, I’m learning something new and continuing to move forward.

For those who have built or are currently building their first product: what has the journey taught you, and what keeps you motivated when progress feels slow?
