Love the perspective. There is no secret recipe but felt the same things when I read Lenny's article on it. Seems like a lot of YC advice still sounds very sensible but might be a bit outdated.
That being said, it is even more secure and better if you can validate and sell before hand

Yep! Selling something before you have built it is the absolute best validation possible still.

Not successfully. I struggle with selling something that doesn't exist. I like marketing things that people can immediately use but I break down a little when I have to pre-sell something.

its hard because in many case that is considered a scam.
there is a line somewhere in fake-it till you make it/ experimentation VS. downright selling non-existent product

Yeah, it’s the line between a kickstarter project and an outright scam you have to walk when validating without a product.
