Good point. It helps to be well-rounded in general, not just in technology. To be fair, if you work for Netflix, entertainment is part of your business domain.

To be fair, if you work for Netflix, entertainment is part of your business domain. One of the things the article highlights is the importance of knowing the business domain for your customers/clients.
- jedberg 11y ago> To be fair, if you work for Netflix, entertainment is part of your business domain. That's true. But politics isn't really part of that, but came in handy (knowing when the President was making a big speech or another country was having an election or debate, for example).
- toyg 11y ago> But politics isn't really part of [entertainment] That's a very naive view of politics :) -- if you think I'm just being a smartass: Reagan, Berlusconi, Trump, Schwarzenegger, Trudeau, Paquiao, Blair... the list of politicians who were entertainers before getting into politics is huge and getting longer (and more popular) by the day.
- jedberg 11y agoThat only became true when politicians started appearing on TV. They even touch on this in Back to the Future. When the only thing people knew of politicians was via printed word, and later radio, no one cared what they looked like.
