my takeaway from this piece was a bit diff than what seems to have been talked about so far.

clearing out externalities and understanding your own emotional response to a product- whether you’ve built it or not - is likely hard to learn, and is intuition driven.

and it is understanding this response that allows builders to create things that evoke a similar emotional response in others.

Personally, I’ve always been convinced that having this kind of ability is what enables people to make the difference between a very good and a truly great product.
