A good engineer thinks like a product manager
🎁 Notion template: List of questions to ask before making a technical decision included!
Intro
Everything that we build as engineers, we build for someone to use. There is always going to be an end user for us. The end users can be non-tech people or they can also be other engineers.
It’s really important to try to deeply understand them and put ourselves in their shoes. That’s how we can create great solutions for them.
The importance of product mindset for engineers
Our users don’t care how shiny the tech is. They care that the product is solving their problems.
That’s why the focus on the product is very important. You can create the best technical solution, but if it will not solve customer’s problems, it will not be perceived that way.
