Ask HN: How to improve product intuition skills?

Recently I had an interview for a Data Science position. My candidacy was declined due to lack of product intuition skills. What are the ways to improve it?

Maybe I'm an old greybeard, but what is "product intuition" in the first place ?

Create a product people want, push it to market, change it based on customer feedback.

In a way it's really kinda silly, "you don't have product intuition yet" well that's why I'm here for a job, if I had product intuition I'd build my own !$#* product. And when you can do all the stuff they ask you to be able to do on your own, why would you want to come work for them?

Just my thoughts, others have more experience here.

From the marketing side, we call that finding product-market fit. (If you want to search for resources.) I think the CTO at the startup I work for is pretty good at it. But, I don't know how he does it.
