Usually it's copying features "they have Foo, I just need Foo or Foo++". Worse is: competitor A has feature X, competitor B has feature Y, competitor C has feature Z... all I have to do is build X, Y, and Z in one! Unfortunately a lot of product people think this way. I think it's generally a mistake.
- Gibbon1 8y agoIt's hard to make successful products by duplicatiing your competitors old products. Consider that your competitors products likely have a lot of legacy limitations that a green field design doesn't. And usually have features that no one actually needs either. Blatant example. The scope on my bench has a floppy drive. You know for saving traces. Yeah like anyone wants or needs that today.
