Sam Altman explains what it means to be product-focused

What you write about, not what PG writes about, is like, focus on product. Product, product, product, market, fit. What does focus on product mean to you?

I mean, you have, you know, maybe if you're really good and really dedicated, you can work like 70 really productive hours in a week. And so you have 70 hours to allocate. And there's a question of how you allocate those. And when we say focus on product, it means that you put almost all of those into talking to users and creating product and making sure that you have some users that really love your product. Most startups face a choice in the early days. Either I'm going to get a lot of users that sort of are somewhat ambivalent, they like me, but they don't love me, or I have a small number of users that really love me. Every really successful company I've been involved with has been in that second category. So focus on product means focus on love, not like. And spend your time writing code and talking to users. You need to get the product to the point where some people would be really, really bummed if it went away.
