given how the term is used lately, your questioning just means you're not insane yet, so I wouldn't worry too much.


Care to elaborate on this? how is this statement true?


Sure. You're spending your time doing something. That's probably to produce a product, or service, for someone else. In this case, it's the customer. So you put them first and foremost in your mind, and then work backwards to identify whatever process is suitable to create the product or service that meets their expectations. This ensures what you deliver is valuable. When we do this, it reinforces our own sense of value. We're helping someone.

You put the customer first, that's first principles thinking. You adjust the way you spend your time, according to your customer's needs.


Also agree with this. It's filtering work and priorities through the customer's lens instead of jumping right away to building. As in asking yourself first, why is this important, what does the customer want to accomplish, are there more of them who experience this ... feels in one way similar to the data-driven philosophy.


or when you have stronger real-time constraints than "send it to the GPU and hope it comes back fast enough" (e.g. real-time audio processing)
