If it's a nice problem to have, don't solve it now

>Ninja edit: this is in contrast to things that aren't a problem yet. E.g., in the article, the author discusses not having password reset functionality. That is not yet a problem in the absence of users. It's not a nice problem to have. It is not a problem.

That's the crux of it. The headline is catchy, but the author isn't talking about nice-to-have problems. He's talking about recognizing if something is a problem right now, or only a problem at some point in the future.

IMO, the article is click-bait.

Short, information dense, titles are hard :-)

The full question I ask is "From my perspective right now, is this a nice problem to have?" - emphasis on the first part.

I certainly didn't mean for this to be click bait, just wanted to share something that's been valuable for me with others in the hope it might be useful. I might work on the title.

If you're looking for unsolicited suggestions, you might consider "If it's not a problem yet, don't solve it now".
