One of the most salient features of our Tech Hiring culture is that there is so much bullshit. Everyone knows this. Each of us contributes his share. But we tend to take the situation for granted.
If you are solving a real world problem and your users are mostly happy about it, you are a good programmer.
They will probably not be 100% happy at first. As long as you care about them, it's fine and even good. You will want to solve theirs problems, and by doing that, you will learn exactly what you need to learn now to become a better developer.
If you are writing a Todo app stored in the blockchain and written with the latest trendy stack, then no matter your technical skills, you have to rethink why you are doing this.
I'm wondering why blockchain is necessary for To-do list app? Trust issues?
In all serious though, I think this is what I need to hear. Lately, I'm having a trouble of knowing what I should do next to advance my knowledge in coding. I only think "I must add this feature" and "that feature" without giving a much thought on why I need to include them in the first place.
As what you have said, maybe I should pay more attention to end-users.
By the way, how can I get the users to try my apps other than my family and friends?

Blockchain is needed to get VCs to finance you :)
Google "customer discovery" or "customer development"
Lol! VCs these days...
