I can't emphasize enough how valuable software engineers are. When I polled my community, 91% of you said that you would love to build a side project that made you additional income or even replaced your full-time job. Sometimes developers can develop the habit of jumping into the code too quickly (me included). I brought on leaders in the UX and Product space to share how they would go about validating an idea and building out an MVP with features that actually provide value to users. Even if you're an aspiring developer that's just struggling to come up with project ideas, we went over some ways to help you do that.

Topics and Questions:
0:00 - Intro
2:47 - If you were to build a new product and potentially create a company out of it, how would you go about doing that?
8:41 - Validating a problem / solution with users, Product market fit
19:18 - Example: For my new Twitch web app, how would I go about finding users to help me validate my app idea
27:17 - How to solidify initial MVP features
30:59 - How do you train your mind to identify problems that exist and brainstorm potential solutions? (How to come up with project ideas)
44:37 - My summary of what I've learned so far from this conversation
49:53 - How do you figure out if your product even has a chance in an oversaturated market?
52:18 - How to figure out how much to charge for your app?
1:03:03 - Do more time and resources usually go into planning a product or developing it?
1:13:11 - Outros
