Founders

for me, it's easy.

i have a big backlog of things i want to add to scope

yet i never look into it.

i'm a dau of my own product, so i just build what i think is missing the most

could be a bug, an improvement, or a feature — doesn't matter, as long as it provides the most value for the whole product

Imo it is contextual. But for me it would be this (biased by the product i work on)

1. Bugs blocking users from using the prdt or frustrating UX flows (imp. for retention)

2. Features most asked for & brings significant value to user (imp. for retention & acquisition)

3. Any new innovations/ideas

4. Low hanging fruits & Everything else.

So true, backlog becomes the bad ideas sanity check. Constantly creating objective data
