🔗 3 constraints before I build anything

Jordan Lord emphasizes the importance of specific constraints before beginning any project. He advocates for a one-pager to encapsulate ideas, arguing that if an idea can't be summarized succinctly, it may be too complex to pursue. Additionally, he stresses the need to develop separable core technology that supports the product without being tied to it directly; this ensures long-term leverage and innovation. Lastly, he highlights the necessity of having a defining constraint that shapes the product's identity and limits features, preventing bloat and maintaining focus. His perspective arises from a decade of experience, reflecting on previous missteps in product development.
