"The Design Of Everyday Things" by Don Norman. It reminds me of how important it is to remember that your users are humans and they will make mistakes if you design badly.

A popular book in the field of product design and development is "The Lean Startup" by Eric Ries. It has been influential because it promotes a scientific approach to creating and managing startups, emphasizing iterative development, validated learning, and continuous improvement.

@realkunalmehta I was thinking about iterative development yesterday, and how we have not done it in our startup. Because we felt it made the product stiff and hard to manoeuvre as we built it. We just had a North Star and then just built towards that without any plan or any milestones. Sometimes we would rebuild the whole thing or parts of it. But now that we reached that North Star. We are definitely doing things more iteratively. As it has found its way sort of. I guess my point is, not all things can be built iteratively. Esp novel innovation.
