>Software is just a tool to help accomplish something for people - many programmers never understood that. Keep your eyes on the delivered value, and don't over focus on the specifics of the tools. - John Carmack
The same as it was in the 80s or 90s, some 30 years later Tech industry hasn't changed. It may have technologically advanced, but in many cases I think the UX, tools and product decisions has actually regressed.
The divide between a product genius and actual programmers has never been greater. At least Steve Jobs used to understand this better than anyone else.
>And, one of the things I've always found is that you've got to start with the customer experience and work backwards for the technology. You can't start with the technology and try to figure out where you're going to try to sell it. And I made this mistake probably more than anybody else in this room. - Steve Jobs.
