Why watch
Kent C. Dodds teaches product engineering fundamentals focused on validating whether problems deserve software solutions before building. The workshop covers applying The Mom Test to discover real user behavior versus compliments, connecting user evidence to engineering effort decisions, and understanding how accepting tickets without product context produces technically polished but pointless work. Part 1 includes a live exercise where attendees practice deciding if their conference entry idea solves actual problems.
