You might want to add some indication if this was sarcasm. If it wasn't then that's wrong - engineers should be directly talking to customers, at least some of the time. It's by far the best way to get direct feedback on what real problems customers are having with the product.
- rusk 1y agoI think they were describing “is” as opposed to “ought”
- spullara 1y agoit is basically a quote from the movie

- swayvil 1y agoBecause engineers generally fail to catch such subtleties, righr?
- shiroiuma 1y agoSomeone really needs to watch the movie...
- pjc50 1y agoI think we all agree on that; the problem is that some customer relationship management is .. highly political. Lots of face saving and message discipline. Engineers are not trusted to have the skills to do that even if you've got time to keep them fully briefed on what the story you're allowed to tell the customer is. Sometimes even asking the wrong question can cause an upset. Engineers are prone to thinking or even saying things like, "successfully delivering the project is more important than the ego of a middle ranking procurement manager in the client, right?"
