What Happens When You Lose Sight of the Top Problem Worth Solving

He shares examples, such as Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI), where additional functionalities undermine the user experience and reduce productivity. John emphasizes the importance of maintaining focus on the top problem being solved and avoiding the distraction of secondary or tertiary issues.
