Ep. 3 — Are the design challenges a good thing to do?
Let’s see if it is a waste of time or is something that you should give it a try.

This is my Point of View about the importance of release a product/project without being perfect.

If you want to be better I suggest you to stay always learning, you can watch videos, listen to podcasts, reading articles, there are a lot of resources out there that can bring you a lot of value.
One of my favorite podcasts is the Product Breakfast Club (https://www.productbreakfastclub.com/) by Jonathan Courtney and Jake Knapp, also check Design Better Podcast (https://www.designbetter.co/podcast) and The Honest Designers Show (https://www.designcuts.com/honest-designers/).
