I could have phrased it better I think but the gist is to understand and focus on the core offering of the product. Piling on a bunch of features for hopes of traction may not work if the product doesn’t solve some core underlying user need.

Agreed on the gist. I think its common to get excited when innovations start showing results, worried when use adoption slows down, burn rate, the stress of everything, putting eggs in every basket and hoping something hits. I have totally done this lol, and can still get excited and forget the painful lessons. This is a great piece and an excellent reminder and I hope all devs/builders read it.
