> The reality is that a lot of developers like to build just for the sake of building. Very true. I build for the sake of building in my free time. > Or worse, "we'll build it and we don't care if they come... True as well. If I am working on a personal project is because I believe it's the best project ever conceived (obviously I know I'm wrong, but there is always "what if I'm not?!"). > A huge amount of developers just want to be shielded from any kind of customer interaction, and I'm not talking about call center support. But if we are talking in the context of developers working for companies (not developers working on their personal projects) then the only responsible person of working on features no one will use is the project manager (or product owner): they own the product, they decide what comes next (with the help of devs).
