Key insights

The feeling of product-market fit is like “stepping on a landmine” – it hits suddenly and is unmistakable (contrasted with the long grind that came before).

Many great companies never experience an explosive product-market fit moment; most businesses compete in zero-sum markets via incremental execution.
