Nice explanation! Definitely overgeneralisation is one of the many things that kill projects early.
Do you ever seek feedback from others on your WIP libraries in an attempt to do some validated learning on whats actually important?

I usually do look for feedback if I'm not just writing a library for myself. Often pretty early on re: concept, naming, and general calling model. I wouldn't say it's formal product development feedback though. Mainly brainstorming with trusted friends and colleagues.
These days I'll sometimes use an LLM as an objective third party for brainstorming purposes too. I don't think I've ever been steered by an LLM into anything awesome, but I've definitely been steered away by them from my own bad ideas. :)
