As hackers advance it is easy for them to lose sense of what is difficult, useful or plain stupid. I think this is because hackers usually set themselves on a quest to conquer ...xyz and once that is in sight all the hacking fun seems gone. Here is what I do:

1. I already know who would use my product before I build. They are not asking, "Do I need that?" but they are asking "When do I get that?".

2. As I develop, I am more likely to leave things out than to add anything to it.

Always remember:

  "Perfection is not the absence of what can be added but of what can be taken away"
