Defining Agency and Taste in Product Development
Press Space for next Tweet
The words "Agency" and "Taste" are all the rage these days so let me try to define them: Agency This one is easy. To me, it's simply going from: "I don't know how to do this." to "I don't know how to do this but let me ask AI and just figure it out." Taste There are no magical frameworks and you aren't born with this. I think there are a few key ingredients though to build taste. You have to: 1. Talk to users 2. Be the user 3. Listen, seek the truth, and admit when you're wrong 4. Iterate and build rapid feedback loops 5. Make time to tinker and play and most importantly... 6. Actually give a damn about what you're building and ship only something that you want to put your signature on vs. pumping out slop What are your definitions?
