Mark Pincus shares his counterintuitive framework for coming up with successful product ideas, explaining why your instincts are right 95% of the time but your ideas are wrong 75% of the time.
要点 · TL;DR
使用'已验证、更好、全新'框架：掌握已验证元素，添加改进，测试新想法。 Use 'Proven, Better, New' framework: master proven, add betterments, test novel.
