Human needs are universal; product solutions are unique

When I see a feature doing well, it’s tempting to feel an instinctive desire to copy and paste that feature onto whatever I’m working on. After all, it’s working for another app! Or if a set of values is working for one team, I think, “We should try that in my team too!”
Don't just copy and paste. It's important to understand the strategy, vision and strength of your competitors (or that app you saw the feature on) as they might not aligned with yours. Maybe you should do the opposite or maybe it's not relevant for you.
Wow! Absolutely loved this one. Understanding what human needs a product is fulfilling, is a great way to look at how features are developed.

Don't build another feature for the graveyard.
