Action Beats Opinions: Why Shipping Fast Creates Real Feedback

My action-to-feedback ratio is ruthlessly low.

That's intentional.

I don't wait for 10 opinions before moving. I ship, I learn, I adjust.

The truth:
1 action generates more useful feedback than 5 discussions.

Waiting feels safe but kills momentum.
Execution creates clarity.

Every unit of feedback you collect without acting becomes feedback debt.
Every unit of action you take builds learning equity.

That's why I batch feedback after making progress.
That's why I set boundaries on when input matters.
That's why I let outcomes speak louder than reviews.

I'd rather ship an imperfect draft today than watch a perfect idea die.

If you stopped waiting for input, what would you ship by tomorrow?
