"I don’t obsess over competitors. In practice that means that I don’t do any in-depth testing of their apps or services. I feel that would just obscure my vision for the product. Comparing yourself to others too much leads to losing the confidence and appreciation of your own unique identity."
100% agree. Measuring one thing has little to do with building it. Under building mode, there is only one path you could go. Under measuring mode, we only want to know the distance from the target to the place reached. In other words, building is a somewhat one-dimension activity while measuring is more often a multi-dimension activity.
