"We are making rookie mistakes"... You are. "Won't be able to put out fires effectively enough." You won't. So what. Launch. This is your first day at pre-kindergarten. There is a long way to go. And pre-k is fun. Ask anyone who has gone through it.
Thanks, that actually does reassure me. I mean, I figure everyone has to start with something, right? And while I do harbor some feelings of dread for our launch, I'm also very excited for it.
For some reason when you launch your app/website you feel that you are putting yourself out there for the rest of the world to judge, and fear being judged and humiliated. Just work through this, launch and get it over with. You will have critics, bad feedback, but you will be one step closer to your goal. Trust me - bad feedback is way better than no feedback
