Darsh Patel — Life beyond the screen

1. Ship Early to Test Assumptions

The longest delay in software is over-engineering features before knowing if users even want the core function. Launching a minimal, rock-solid core teaches you 10x more than months of isolated planning.

2. Performance Is a Fundamental Feature

Laggy animations, heavy bundle sizes, and slow server response kill user trust. Optimizing layout shifts, lazy-loading assets, and keeping frontend state lightweight is essential from day one.
