Arguing over nomenclature probably doesn&#x27;t really matter. There&#x27;s no one-way™. The video validates that there&#x27;s need, drew already had a prototype that worked. I think a lot of time just build it all at the same time.<p>Nobody&#x27;s ever going to fully externally validate an idea for you ahead of time. Just keep building until it seems like it&#x27;s boring &#x2F; you&#x27;re poor &#x2F; it has no potential. Don&#x27;t go off and do it by yourself (without growth &#x2F; people using it) if you want to build a real startup and not an art project.<p>I think a lot of times people are looking for an excuse to not build the thing they really want to build. Just build something cool, don&#x27;t worry if it&#x27;s an MVP or prototype or whatever. You don&#x27;t normally have to talk to other people about MVP or prototype because talking about it is usually fake work.
