It's easy to fall into a pit when creating a product: the more effort you invest, the easier it is to get trapped in a cycle of self-appreciation. It's like the saying goes, every parent sees their child as a model—whatever you create looks shiny and bright in your eyes.

How to fix this deviation? The method is actually quite simple: first, treat the product as an ordinary user and use it extensively. It's not just a formality; you really need to use it to discover those problems. Second, talk with users, and do it frequently and intensely. It's not about polite feedback, but rather conversations that can hit the pain points.

When these two things come together, it becomes very difficult for you to deceive yourself. Reality will tell you in the most straightforward way where you still fall short.
