Building fast made me lose sight of why I started

Lately I’ve been shipping more than ever.

New features.
Better UI.
Smarter flows.

But when I stepped back this week,
I realized something uncomfortable:

I’m no longer solving the original problem.

Somewhere along the way,
building became the goal.

Not helping.

Now I’m trying to rebuild clarity before building more.

How do you stay aligned with the real user pain over time?
