I know landing pages are fun and they feel like progress, but to be honest most of the time they are a time sink. Of all the landing pages I built I got maybe a handful of signups, while I could have achieved the same talking to people at a meetup (time invested <5min).

I think my no. 1 startup advice is spend less time pretending and more time building.

The trouble with that is that startup people naturally gravitate towards building things without having a clear idea of what they're trying to sell/what the benefits are.

Building a landing page can sometimes be a useful prioritization exercise in that sense. It obviously doesn't replace building the actual product eventually.
