#buildinpublic Day 45 - linear is successful because of their positioning, not their features. #product

I'm curious about Linear, being honest; because developers are not the decision-makers with a budget. Plus, when I looked at it, it just seemed like Jira with some of the crap removed.

That seems to be a common problem with products that get big & need to curry favour with current/potential investors. Miro seems to be falling into that trap, too. It's unfortunate that you can't just make a product, finish it & that's that. Hitching a company to a single idea makes things awkward.

I just want to reiterate that I watch nearly every one of those. You have clear thinking, great presentation and excellent insights. And it's nice to see you smile every day too. 🙏

Cool point, but the crisp duality kinda blurs over the reality that in product design: positioning "for who" --> "most useful" feature subset The former determines the latter
