No offense, but you need to read more blog articles then. Yes, the idea that you should first find a problem and THEN figure out the tech to solve it is a brilliant idea but it isn't something radically new. In fact this has been discussed far better in so many other articles.
In fact, Steve says u gotta think about the customer experience first, but do note that his philosophy was more of "Don't ask the customers what they want. Make something super cool and then convince people that they want it." It worked brilliantly for Apple (because they genuinely made super cool stuff), but it doesn't work for everyone. And there are several blog articles that present the "customer-first" idea in a more "customer-first" way.
PS: Personally I find Stratechery's articles much more insightful than Daring Fireball's.
I enjoyed it too. It didn't teach me anything new. Apple's focus on the product is old news. I enjoyed it because it reminded me of what a great performer Steve Jobs was on stage.

What part exactly did you enjoy if I may ask? Or are you being sarcastic?

Like others said, there wasn't anything new covered here. It was just a nice, brief, and on topic blog article on an aspect of product development.
There are many strategies to develop a product, but I liked his analysis, the videos, and the overall format.
