The Beginning.
At the Start
There’s always going to be a reason why you don’t ship. Ship anyway.
Today: I decided to build my first app.
Day 2: I start working on the logo... then my best friend has an emergency. Her brother is stuck at a bus stop—lost his phone, can't pay. She needs company to get him.
Day 5: I start again to try and finish the landing page. Halfway through, I remember. A midterm. An assignment due TOMORROW AT 11:59 PM. I have 10 hours.
Day 10: I remember the pitch competition. I restart. Oh shit. My data credits are zero. My last $5 was spent on boba tea. OK, tomorrow when mom sends money I'll top up.
Day 20: I need to get back to building...
There will always be a reason.
Ship anyway.
Delulu Commandments

2. Thou might be broke, but thy dreams are rich.
3. Thou shalt ship thy app even if thou hath no users.
4. Thou might not always believe in thyself but thou will always believe in thy app. Thou shalt ship it.
5. I'm special to myself, that's why I will ship.
6. I am the main character. Therefore, I am the captain. I will ship my own app.
7. Elon will be sending letters to Mars about my app launch.
8. If he doesn't, it means I need to ship again.

Just Ship.
