and that's the secret to a good product
And it's why I hate capitalism as a consumer.
"People need an incentive to invent things!"
Well, if that incentive is making money instead of making a great thing, it's probably not going to be a great thing. Great things make money.
Oh hey, that’s why I hate capitalism as an engineer. The endless pursuit of profit first rather than making good things that people want is disheartening as someone who just wants to make things that make life better
3D printing is such a boon for this. You can make things for yourself put it online for free, and other people can also make it. There's no need for a profit incentive. I hope in the future everyone owns a 3D printer.
Listen. We need you to shave another $0.13 off the cost of the unit. Just like, reduce the quality a bit. No end user will ever notice.
Exactly, if you want a good product, have the developers make what "they" want. Usually works out.
That’s how you end up with Arch Linux.
This may work if the developer is a possible client too like in this case. But I feel that's the exception.
Do what the clients want and not what developers, designers or management want.
