You might know the "If you're not embarrassed by the first version of your product, you've launched too late" quote by @reidhoffman.
I wonder what Reid thinks about it now but it seems like the embarrassment era is over.

@reidhoffman Companies like Notion, Figma, Navigator (to name a few) have proven a point of really polished MVP’s: I really doubt that any of them experienced any kind of embarrassment after launching their first version.

@reidhoffman It became normal to spend a couple of years on a product before releasing it to the market, evolving it internally by showing and testing it with a limited number of interested customers.

User’s expectations have evolved over the last years so much that now a great product experience seems to be nothing less than normal. Especially, for the very competitive markets where the quality bar is so high that startups have to try hard in order to challenge the status quo
So, if you're not embarrassed by the first version of your product, you might have done everything right. Unless it’s a perfectly executed solution of a wrongly chosen problem.
