I ' d do almost anything <| sep |> It ' s a funny comparison to modern day life . The people that live there still watch The Big Bang Theory or Chopped before going to bed . <| sep |> It ' s not a high quality problem to have . If you ' re not ready for any kind of significant influx of visitorsuserscustomers and I don ' t mean you think you ' re not ready , I mean you genuinely don ' t have the infrastructure in place to provide consistent value , these things can totally fuck you up . Most of the time , PH won ' t drive enough people over to make that kind of impact , but it increases the likelihood that it could really go viral , and THAT could really hurt you . Let ' s say you get a flood of early adopters . Early adopters often find out about these things because of the internet , and that means they subsequently share their experiences with the internet . These people write a bunch of very public negative reviews , and because you didn ' t really get to control your launch , there ' s no positive press about you that you could line up . The entirety of the data out there suggests that your XYZ is absolute garbage . That ' s really , really not good . I met a guy a while ago through here , actually . He built an app and launched it to the app store for some testing , but didn ' t publicize it at all because it was for testing . He ends up getting featured by the App Store , gets a few tens of thousands of downloads , and gets a bunch of 1 star reviews . Now sure , if he releases a new version and that gets a lot of good reviews , that helps . It ' s probably not a death sentence . But there are a lot of people who won ' t download the app because of that who might have otherwise . I myself rarely download an app unless it has a good rating because I ' m very particular about UX and I hate dealing with shitty software . That being said , most people who actually are ready don ' t feel like they are , and so it ' s important to be able to tell .
