The correct answer when a customer asks “Can you build this feature?” is almost always “What problem are you trying to solve?”

If you hire a grad and you just have them walk around the office with this on a tshirt, they will pay for themselves in about a week. Need to send a couple back through time to my early workplaces, tbh

@carnage4life I wonder if this is because most folks are problem solvers by nature. When they have a problem they want to solve it, so they propose a solution. The real skill when it comes to building high performing teams/products is doing a really good job at defining the problems, and then posing them to the people that have the expertise to solve them.

@garyowen @carnage4life As Confucius once said:

And if there was a problem. Yo, I’ll solve it. Check out the hook while my DJ revolves it.

@carnage4life Yes, and the way I like to phrase it is “Sure, we can. Let’s talk more about what it is that you need it to do and why. We might be able to come up with something even better.”

@carnage4life this is going to be interesting with AI when people can add all the features they want. I guess our jobs will be safe and we will all be managers of code.
