How do you separate features users actually use from things they just say they want?

We fell into the trap of blindly trusting our feature request board. Our top voted item was an advanced reporting dashboard so we dedicated weeks of dev time to make it perfect.

The usage numbers after launch were a reality check. Most people who asked for it barely touched it proving there's a huge gap between what users ask for and what they actually use daily.

How do you divide your time between coding new features and talking to users?

There's always a endless list of bugs to fix and updates to ship every single week.

But every time i actually get on a quick call with a user i realize half the stuff i just built wasn't even that important to them. It's hard to know when to put down the code and just listen.

How many hours a week do you actually block out just to chat with your customers?

How do you stop AI dev tools from making sneaky edits to your codebase?

I was blown away by how fast I built my initial dashboard using AI assistants.

But after asking for a tiny logic tweak a week later the model secretly changed date handling across multiple files.

Nothing crashed which made it even worse the bug was completely silent until numbers stopped matching up. Now I inspect every single git diff before moving to the next prompt.

What habits or checks do you use to keep AI coders from introducing silent bugs into existing features?
