- At a fireside chat, OpenClaw founder steipete pushed back on the "launch quickly and often" advice.
- His point: users burned by an early version rarely come back no matter how much the product improves — first impressions are lasting and people like standing by their opinions.
- The poster adds a personal example: he avoided Stanford's AI video editor Stanley Studio after a weak early experience, and still edits manually despite major improvements.
