>Very fundamental rule number one: Only build something AFTER you sell it FIRST.

This isn't fundamental. It's a single effective strategy out of many possible strategies. Think about it. Only certain people will buy something before you can show it to them and there's also a whole class of people who will only buy after they've seen the product.

Right, I totally agree with you. The quoted advice sort of flouts the saying "people don't know what they want until you show it to them".
