Totally agree, and this applies to almost every creative endeavor I can think of. If you want to write a book, throw words on a page. If you want to start a company, launch an MVP and iterate fast. All things being equal, doing is better than not doing, and doing well is better than doing poorly.
If you're interested in this topic w.r.t software engineering, check out Michael Lopp's article in The Magazine about Stables and Volatiles[1].
