How #fogo focuses on utility before visibility
The sequencing here is everything. Visibility without utility is a liability that most people mistake for an asset. It creates expectations you can't meet, audiences you can't serve, and a performance pressure that quietly corrupts the quality of the work itself. FOGO understands this at a structural level, which is why it insists on getting the useful thing built before anyone is watching.
Utility is the only foundation that makes visibility sustainable. When something genuinely works when it solves a real problem, moves something forward, makes a meaningful difference in how a system operates the visibility that follows is load-bearing. It points people toward something that can actually hold their weight. Visibility that arrives before utility sends people toward something that collapses under attention, and that collapse is hard to recover from because first impressions are sticky and trust is slow to rebuild.
There's also something important about how utility shapes the work itself. When nobody is watching, you can be wrong without consequence, iterate without explanation, and prioritize function over appearance. That freedom produces better outcomes than any amount of external pressure does. The moment visibility enters the equation, a portion of your cognitive budget shifts toward managing perception, and that portion is no longer available for solving the actual problem.
FOGO treats the pre visibility period not as a waiting room but as the most productive environment available. The work done there tends to be denser, more honest, and more structurally sound than anything produced under the distortion field of an audience. By the time visibility arrives, the foundation is genuinely solid, and that solidity is what allows scale to happen without the whole thing shaking apart.
