Product development is like writing

2023-10-25 03:30:02.651883+02 by Dan Lyke 0 comments

Product development is like writing science fiction. It's easy to get everyone to buy into the high concept, but as you flesh out your world, at some point you get enough detail that people start to take a long hard look at the economics and physics of your universe building.

With fiction, you can handwave this step away by asserting early and not inserting detail that's extraneous to the story.

Product development leaves no such luxury.

Commercial plugs are fine, if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
