In our endless chase of objectivity & numbers in product work, it is quite easy to miss that almost every product we use & love was created due to a subjective insight followed by a creative leap by one person (or a tiny team), and then followed by even more creative execution.

Great designers are strong at "product thinking." This is a key aspect of many design interviews, as well as many PM or VC ones. But what exactly is product thinking? And how does one get good at it? Thread below 👇
To have good instincts about what makes a product beloved, you generally have...
- Curiosity about how people think and behave
- Understanding of why various products are popular/unpopular
- A habit of analyzing new products
- An eye for seeing good/bad user experiences
One of the main reasons most B2B software is hard to use is because product managers don’t end up using their own products (unlike consumer products where they get a gut level understanding of consumer pain).
