Build: Shipping a Product People Love
with Diego Marín — Co-Founder & CTO, Laminar · Ex-Engineering, Notion
Building With Taste and Velocity
Most early-stage products fail not because the team built the wrong thing once, but because they built the wrong thing slowly. Speed and taste are the founder's two scarcest resources, and they have to compound together.
Diego Marín shares the operating habits behind small teams who consistently ship products people love — from how to scope a week of work to how to know when a feature is actually done.

Four outcomes you will leave with
- 01Scope a week of building so that something real ships every Friday.
- 02Build a feedback loop with users that survives growth past the first hundred.
- 03Distinguish the polish that compounds from the polish that wastes a quarter.
- 04Set an engineering bar that attracts the next ten hires you actually want.
"Speed is not the opposite of taste. In small teams, it is the only way taste survives the second year."
