I think the fundamental message is very relevant to software development: question everything. It’s really easy to get so caught up in the layers of abstraction, that we forget that we’re making software for people. A chef who painstakingly concerned himself with where he sourced his ingredients may or may not be a good chef. But the chef who concerned herself deeply with the taste of the meal would probably be a good one. Yet, when we talk about software development, 90% of what we talk about is stack, and 10% is what we built. I’m not super successful or anything, but I imagine the founders who focus on the 10% are the better ones.
