Designer recalls late mother-in-law's advice: "It doesn't matter who ships first, but who does it best"

Designer evilrabbit shares a memory: while working on a series of launches years ago, a competitor shipped the exact feature his team was building. His mother-in-law, noticing his frustration, told him: "It doesn't matter who does it first. What matters is who does the best work. You guys are super talented. You'll figure it out."
He's been thinking about her words lately — in today's AI race, we should slow down and focus more on ourselves and the work we want to put into the world.
