You can't build on cents. Get the necessary funds and resources as early as possible!

Failure is a natural part of the learning process; don't fear it, embrace it.

The concept of selling before you build - it essentially means you need to validate your product idea before you go all in and Start working on the product as a whole with a team their practice of no use if you don't no if there is a demand for it and if users are willing to pay for the product

Use version control. Version control systems like Git allow you to track changes to your code over time and revert to previous versions if necessary. This is essential for any software development project, but it's especially important when you're working on a complex or risky project.

Everyone makes mistakes, but it's important to learn from them so you don't repeat them in the future. Don't be afraid to ask for help from more experienced colleagues or mentors.

Technical failures can be frustrating, but they're also a chance to learn and grow. The most valuable lesson I've learned is the importance of thorough testing. No matter how confident you are in your code, it's always important to test it thoroughly under a variety of conditions

Even if u are under pressure, try to anylyze the problem from a detached perspective, to see things from a higher perspective to understand the bigger picture. Sometimes the solution is simple and straightfoward if u look at things with patience. And of course, anylyze the problem after, see what went wrong and what could have been done better.

Make sure to have a good staging environment :)

It is better to communicate an issue early on and tackle it as it unfolds, than let it expand become a real problem. Transparency is critical, as is communication between the members involved.

The most valuable lesson I've learned from a technical failure is to always have a backup plan.

In my experience, the most valuable lesson I've learned from a technical failure or mistake is the need for continuous improvement and unwavering diligence. Technical failures can happen to anyone, even the most skilled professionals, and they often arise from seemingly minor oversights or assumptions.

That having a product that relies heavily on 1 single external provider (ex : ChatGPT API) seems simple and easy at first but can become a nightmare when the provider faces technical issues. Because your users don’t care and they wil blame you

Forget the code)) The most important thing is to solve the customer's problem in any way possible.
