I used to think “devs not caring about users” was just truly indifference… but after seeing how hard it is to build an app with an empathic approach, aka:
viewing the app through the lens of different personas, how that informs how you design features, collecting user data and designing user stories… I definitely have more empathy towards both users *and* devs now. You don’t know what you don’t know.
This was never anything I was exposed to at previous jobs, but i’m starting to believe it’s one of the most important things.

Bad ones will waste time you could spend solving real problems with BS. As everything, being good at your job matters
