Building Meaningful Tech Products That Actually Matter

The Problem with Modern Product Development

Most products today are built backwards. Teams start with features, add complexity, then wonder why users don’t engage.

Here’s what actually works…

1. Start with Real Problems

Before writing a single line of code, spend time understanding the actual problem you’re solving.

2. Build for Humans, Not Metrics

Metrics matter, but they shouldn’t drive every decision. Focus on creating genuine value.

Key Takeaways

• Problem-first approach: Always start with the user’s real pain point
• Iterative validation: Test assumptions early and often
• Meaningful metrics: Track what matters for long-term success

Remember: Great products solve real problems elegantly.
