I missed out on an opportunity of a lifetime because I thought “nobody will use this - UX is too crap”

People have a tendency to quickly decide if something is viable and dismiss it if there’s any hint that it may not be. Most people are guilty of this type of thinking, myself included. You see it everywhere now, even among entrepreneurs who should know better.

Knowing this, we can trick ourselves to ask a different question: how might this get better over time?

Don’t dismiss the thing, but keep a close eye on it - or better yet - try to improve it yourself.
