"Good Products are Opinionated. Every great founder Ive seen up close or even from afar is highly opinionated and theyre almost dictatorial in how they run things. Also early-stage teams are opinionated. And the products they build are opinionated. Opinionated means they have a strong vision for what it should and should not do. If you dont have a strong vision of what it should and should not do then you end up with a giant mess of competing features. @Jack Dorsey has a great phrase: Limit the number of details and make every detail perfect. And thats especially important in consumer"

Can the average person actually throw a baseball once at 95mph No. Too big of a spread.
