I used to think “devs not caring about users” was just truly indifference… but after seeing how hard it is to build an app with an empathic approach, aka:

viewing the app through the lens of different personas, how that informs how you design features, collecting user data and designing user stories… I definitely have more empathy towards both users *and* devs now. You don’t know what you don’t know.

This was never anything I was exposed to at previous jobs, but i’m starting to believe it’s one of the most important things.

While I agree with you, it would also be revolutionary to actually open source the project management side (or at least make it readable). Lots of people have issues, but a small subset would actually provide feedback on user stories

this + having someone take care of politics is exactly what gave rise to product function in tech startups

i always saw them as a superfluous annoyance, but this was just my ignorance and not seeing the bigger picture

Good ones are worth gold… wait, outdated expression 😅

Bad ones will waste time you could spend solving real problems with BS. As everything, being good at your job matters
