If you take this advice, you'll run straight into the famous Innovators Dilemma (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Innovator%27s_Dilemma https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Innovator%27s_Dilemma).
And, I have personally experienced at least one counter-example to this advice. Your product can be pushed into a direction that meets only one person's needs, and confuses everyone else.
This is fine for a personal tool, and deadly to a tool that wants to be widely and frequently used.
Free advice is a risk-free way to get others to test your hypothesis for you.
- cjblomqvist 7y agoEither I'm greatly misinterpreting your comment, or you mean something different than the innovators dilemma (maybe crossing the chasm?). The innovators dilemma (and CC) refers to incumbents (established and huge) having issues handling disruptive /revolutionary innovation (in particular low value ones) due to issues with creating new markets due to not seeing enough size initially, path dependency, etc. This article seems to be targeted at startups.
- bluetwo 7y agoYes, but companies don't see that they are running into this problem unless they get outside their own bubble. When they keep doing what worked for them yesterday, they run into trouble.
