Meng emphasizes the wealth of online resources available for learning web development. Drawing from his experience transitioning from software engineering, he highlights the importance of determination and conviction. He recommends starting with a minimal viable product, focusing on functionality to validate ideas. Once traction is gained, professional skills can be incorporated to enhance the product or secure funding.
Tune in to explore the journey from novice to platform creator and how embracing imperfection can lead to ultimate success.
Episode Highlights:
00:57 - I learned everything myself. I didn't come up with the right framework in the very beginning, and the first version of the product isn't perfect. I actually went through multiple iteration and at some point, I had to rewrite everything in three months to make it under a more sustainable and a better framework that can be extended better, easier in the future. So, I definitely made a lot of mistakes like in the web development side.
