nah youre missing it, if time to build takes 9 months, you better get the product right.

if time to build takes 2 months, just build it and iterate.

or just rebuild the product to the customers liking...

I’m not missing anything. Customers getting what they want earlier is a good thing. If the product is flawed, it will be outcompeted by a product that is better designed for customers. You’re sidestepping like crazy my dude
