> like a chef that cares a bit too much about which cookware you use, it sometimes hinders the goal of serving 100 customers at noon. It puts me in mind of a line from the movie Gettysburg (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0107007/?ref_=tt_ch https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0107007/?ref_=tt_ch). Robert E. Lee, explaining his decision to make a risky attack to one of his lieutenants, says “to be a good soldier, you must love the army. To be a good commander, you must be willing to order the death of the thing you love.” A business built around a particularly clever bit of code faces the same dilemma. To be a good programmer, you must love that code. But to be a good businessperson, you must be willing to order the death of the thing you love.
