You put your product in front of people who had never seen it and don't owe you kindness. Some of it went sideways in front of everyone. Good. That is exactly what "launch fast" is supposed to feel like.
Standup: the rules, every day
60 seconds. Your live URL. Nothing else.
Pull up v1, not a plan for v2. Tonight's question for every team, exactly as asked: what's the most painful thing a stranger did to your product today?

The room decides
Loudest applause picks the demo of the day.
Clap loudest for the story that makes the whole room wince and laugh at once. That confusion is a gift, someone just found a bug for free. The winning story goes on THE WALL tonight.

Tonight's homework
Tonight, two more people get to be confused by your product. On purpose.
Put 2 people at home in front of your live URL. Watch silently, exactly like you did in the classroom today. Log every confusion, no matter how small it feels, and bite your tongue when you want to help.

“Do things that don't scale. Charge for it.”
Tomorrow, the bell rings for real money.
Go home
Embarrassment today is speed. Wear it well.
Every real founder has a stranger-gauntlet story worse than yours. You just got yours on day three instead of year three. See you at 9:00. Bring the log.
