Lots of useful general advice about building products. Cutting features is definitely the hardest part of his recommendations. Especially when a product is small and easy to enhance, it's tempting to add just one more feature. You just need to keep reminding yourself that getting it out the door will focus your efforts on what people actually want, and you'll know for sure whether that feature is worth building.
Totally true. The hardest part of the whole process is cutting features out. For me, I imagine that our sink is shipping and we just have to throw things overboard to stay afloat just a little longer. This allows us to throw things out that aren't exceptionally vital for the product.
The funny thing is that once you throw out the feature that you really really thought you needed, you actually don't even think about it anymore. Strange how that works.
