Talk is cheap. Action is expensive. Engineers often fall into a habit of thinking about what to do instead of actually doing anything. This lesson teaches you:
- How engineers struggle internally with their side projects, leading to nothing getting built
- Why you should just quickly build a side project idea after you have done some basic validation
- Why running a survey is one of the worst ways to validate a side project idea
- How most engineers struggle with user research (UXR)
- What book you should read if you really, really, really want to do UXR
Here's the UXR book Alex mentioned (it's one of the few books he's actually read): https://www.momtestbook.com/
