That stood out to me too. If your customers won't care about it I wouldn't expect your execs to have deep understanding of it.

- bruce511 2y agoI concur. The following stood out to me; >> was thinking about making a product, they’d invite this person to hear the pitch and if they didn’t like or understand it, they wouldn’t make it. He says this like it's a bad thing. When really the company is just trying to find out if the thing being pitched can be sold to a not-engineer. Too often engineers love an idea because it "can be done". They can list features all day long, but lack the skills to understand (or articulate) the benefits to the prospective customer.
- onion2k 2y agoPrioritizing time makes a product fast. Prioritizing space makes it cheap. Customers often do care about the outcome of a tech decision even if they don't care about the decision itself. Therefore the leaders at a company should care too, or should at least empower people below them to make good decisions.
