3hong The best products aren’t designed in conference rooms. They’re built by teams listening to real people. Every feature starts as an assumption. Most assumptions are wrong. The pragmatist’s approach: build the simplest version that solves the actual problem. Show it to users. Listen to what happens. User research is expensive. User observation is expensive.

Speed kills. But in product development, the lack of speed kills faster. There’s an old engineering adage: “Move fast and break things.” Most teams have heard it. Few actually do it. The reality is uncomfortable: speed and caution are inversely related. You cannot optimize for both. You have to choose. The Cost of Caution When … 더 읽기
A team at a major software company was struggling. They had a grand vision: build the ultimate project management tool. They spent six months designing the perfect architecture, the perfect UI, the perfect workflow. When they finally released it, users hated it. Meanwhile, a small competitor shipped a basic but functional version in six weeks. … 더 읽기
Perfectionism is the enemy of progress. In the world of software development, this truth becomes more apparent every day. Every developer knows the feeling: you’re building something, and it could be better. The UI could be more polished. The code could be more elegant. The documentation could be more comprehensive. There’s always one more thing … 더 읽기
We live in an age of abundance, where adding features feels like adding value. Every product manager has experienced this: when your users ask for something, you build it. When analytics show unexpected usage patterns, you add another option to satisfy different workflows. When competitors launch features, you rush to match them. Before you know … 더 읽기
Vanity metrics are seductive. They go up, you feel good. But they don’t actually tell you if you’re winning. Daily active users, total signups, views—these feel important until you realize nobody’s actually staying. The metrics that matter are harder to track. But they’re the ones that predict survival. Revenue per user. Retention cohorts. Time spent … 더 읽기
Perfectionism kills iteration. You don’t improve by waiting for everything to be perfect. You improve by shipping, learning, measuring, and shipping again. The fastest products don’t obsess over pixel-perfect designs. Slack started rough. Uber’s first version was literally just an SMS. Airbnb wasn’t beautifully designed on day one. They just solved a real problem quickly. … 더 읽기
Everyone talks about adding features. Build this, launch that. The metrics obsession means teams always want to expand. But the smartest moves? Deletion. Instagram removed Stories from the main feed. Better? Absolutely. TikTok’s entire strategy is removing the “like” count visibility to reduce gaming. Twitter killed threading requirements. Every change made the core experience cleaner. … 더 읽기
People hate surveys. They’re tedious, impersonal, and response rates suck. Yet most teams still rely on them as their primary feedback mechanism. It’s honestly backwards. The best feedback is contextual and immediate. It’s when someone’s actually frustrated, not three weeks later answering a form. Real innovation comes from watching where users get stuck, not from … 더 읽기
The industry keeps talking about big overhauls and complete redesigns. But here’s the thing: they’re almost always worse. When you throw out everything and start from scratch, you lose institutional knowledge, user patterns, and all the tiny fixes that actually matter. You also introduce a metric ton of new bugs. Everyone’s been there—a site redesigns, … 더 읽기
