What MeVee Habit Did Ryan Hickman Refuse to Repeat at Epic AI?

Ryan Hickman says the MeVee lesson he uses at Epic AI is lean startup taken literally. He is an engineer, and the old habit was to open an editor, install packages, and hunt GitHub for a clever framework until the code became the project. He calls that the kiss of death. On a three-person team, meetings turn into a feature factory, and the original vision gets harder to reach. He names it shiny-object syndrome. Investors buy the whole operation, and customers use more than a screen. Facebook is not only the login. Notifications and email matter, and they are marketing as much as code. Marketing, partners, supply, funding, and operations have to grow together.
