> Most software businesses don’t need a bunch of Picassos, they need house painters with spray guns and buckets of off-white. Oh, so the product owner is Picasso here and the software engineers a bunch of painters? What a load of condescending bullshit! > In the kitchen analogy, we need cooks to do boring stuff like chop 100 onions and make dinner rolls. And programming is the boring stuff in this analogy? This is why the software engineers think that product owners, scrum masters, and the like are bunch of idiots, who don't know what they are talking about. And why should engineers not mess with Figma? The designers and product owners, in all their creative wisdom, ask for unimplementable, inaccessible, unnecessarily time consuming BS all the time without any understanding of what goes in software design, architecture, and implementation. Then they complain about missed deadlines, blown budgets, etc. And then we end up with stupid stuff like Scrum because engineers can't be trusted to self-organize their development process. Perhaps product owners should come off from their high horse and learn to be proper team members?
