Wild assumption without knowing the details: you need a non-product-person on your team. If you are all implementers (PMs, developers, designers etc.) then you might not be focusing on the right things - you might be too focused on building. You might need someone who can get out there and start talking to people, without talking about solutions.
- JohanCutych 6y agoYep, you are totally right. We did lean to building a lot in the past, and I believe we still do even though we try to do our best not to. That's why I am doing this Ask HN and it's extremely valuable. I also want to figure out who to talk with next so I can understand their problems. I am thinking talking to companies and startups in general about their problems and challenges might be beneficial too. Might start podcast series about that. Thanks!
