Dogfooding is so important.
It reminds me of a recent twist to the EV space in North America where Ford, and then all other players, decided to switch their EVs to Tesla's NACS connector.
This interview recently is really grounding. Basically Ford's CEO went on a road trip and actually tried the EV road tripping experience with a non-Tesla (non-Tesla charging stations that is) and saw how dogshit it was. That started conversations to actually try and improve the situation for customers (thus the change to NACS).

- none_to_remain 3y agoDespite the jargon use of the term, I don't think dog food CEOs actually eat their dog food, because it is for dogs. Similarly Reddit is for Redditors.

- xboxnolifes 3y agoI'd except them to at least feed their own dogs the dog food they make though.
- marcosdumay 3y agoSomebody already posted that the (it was only one) CEO actually did. I'll just point out that dog food is food. It may not be healthy for a human in large amounts, but it can't be worse than eating fast food for a week or so. I know an unreasonably large amount of people that claimed to try it. Most when they were children. I doubt that my bubble is unusual on this.
