The Death of Thinking Like a Programmer (& The Rise of Watching What People Actually Do)
Stop Guessing If You Have To Become a Founder
Sanjay Priyadarshi7 min read·Just now--
How do most programmers decide whether users will understand their product or content?
They open ChatGPT and ask:
“Does this make sense?”
This is the problem. Because users don’t interact with your product like ChatGPT.
ChatGPT reads carefully. Users skim. ChatGPT tries to understand your logic. User leaves the moment they have to understand any logic.
And this is the death of programmer thinking.
ChatGPT and Programmers are trained to optimise for logical correctness. But users optimise for speed, clarity and emotional relief.
That’s why great founders stop guessing what users “should” do. And start watching what people actually do instead.
