Comment on What Silicon Valley “gets” about software engineersparent

I think, though I'm not sure, that some people prefer the latter environment.

Having worked with teams which have preferred to work in as pure a technology environment as could be constructed while still providing value, I think this might be the "product focussed" (or not) distinction that people make about themselves on their CVs.

To me “product focussed” is the situation the article describes, everyone thinks about the product (and therefore the business by extension)

Those who don’t like that work environment (so would prefer the latter two of my three dev jobs) would be tech focussed in my book.

It’s all semantics though

Yeah, that was the conclusion I reached as well. I might not have made it clear
