The best business ideas come from noticing what's working and doing it better, faster, or for a different audience.
User Experience Over Technology
Judge products by what the user actually experiences, not by the underlying technology or buzzwords used to describe them
Decision Rule
When evaluating new products or services, ignore technical buzzwords and ask: 'What does this actually do for the user that's different or better?'
How It Works
Technical implementation details are invisible to users; only the end experience matters for adoption and success
Failure Modes
Getting excited about technology without user benefit
Dismissing genuinely innovative products because you don't like the buzzwords
Building products that are technically impressive but user-irrelevant
Example Decision
“A new social platform is described as 'decentralized' and 'open source' but functions identically to Twitter. Focus on user experience rather than technical architecture when deciding whether to adopt it”
