Hard truth: If you have 0 users, writing code is just procrastination.

I caught myself refactoring a perfectly fine backend function for 4 hours yesterday.

Why? Because it felt like work. Because the IDE is safe. Because nobody rejects you inside Visual Studio Code.

Meanwhile, I sent 0 DMs. I wrote 0 posts. I talked to 0 potential users.

The uncomfortable reality: Until you have customers, you aren't a Founder. You are just a Developer with a hobby.

I’m closing my editor today. Who else is guilty of "Productive Procrastination"?
