Author here—sharing my thoughts on why products shouldn't assume hypothetical user needs. Key points:

- Start from real user behavior, not imagined scenarios. - Validate by observing actual user activities. - Prioritize solving existing, painful problems rather than speculative features.

Happy to discuss more!
