Background & analysis
On 2026-11-02 08:55, a developer published an article titled “What I Learned from Shipping 3 MVPs” on DEV Community. The piece opens by looking back on earlier side projects that quietly died — forgotten folders under ~/projects, undployed GitHub repos, and the feeling of “I'll get back to it someday” that never panned out. The author explains that they began treating AI side projects differently, and that over the past two months they shipped three MVPs to actual users. The author is careful to note that these were not thousands of users, but real people other than themselves or their mom. The post goes on to share the lessons drawn from that round of delivery. As only one report is available, there is nothing on record about what followed or where the effort stands now.
