I really liked this post for a couple of reasons. First is that I know I sometimes lose sight of the end goal of a project when I start coding for weeks on end. I'll get sucked into a bug or a feature that I think is necessary and my vision for the future of the product becomes clouded. I also relate this to the design of a product. Without taking a day to step back and try to examine your product from a different perspective, I don't think you'll ever be able to properly analyze and iterate on anything you create. This all stems from my feelings that every engineer should also furiously work to be a good designer as well.
