The original title is "How to Kill a Great Product with 100 Good Ideas"

Short summary

Products rarely die from bad ideas — they die from too many good ones. Every feature request is logical and solves a real problem, which makes them dangerous because saying yes to everything dilutes product identity and turns software into an incoherent junk drawer. The hardest part of product management isn't prioritization; it's having the courage to say no to features that contradict what you believe software should be.

• •Feature creep kills products — every yes dilutes identity, every no sharpens it
• •Great products have strong opinions and accept that not everyone will agree
• •50,000 obsessive users beat a million indifferent ones any day
