When to Add a Feature (and When to Delete One)
A short gut-check for product decisions — three questions to ask before shipping anything new to a blog template.
When to Add a Feature
Before shipping anything new, ask three questions:
Who asks for it?
A real user, an internal stakeholder, or your own itch? The first two carry more weight than they should; the third carries less.
What does it cost to remove?
If "impossible" is the answer, that's a red flag. The best features are easy to delete a year later.
What does it block?
New work that this feature would unblock is usually worth more than the feature itself.
