Great post, as usual from Michael! One kind of broad lesson I get from it is that, though it's tough to resist the urge to just build stuff because that's the comfortable and seemingly most obvious way to make progress on an idea, it really always pays off better to figure out what people want first. The metal shop example was a surprising and good one - so some businesses actually don't really want you to solve their problem in the best way, they want you to solve their problem adequately but it's more important to give them flexibility and options for the future.
