Earlier quoted context omitted.

"Closed allocation is doomed to produce garbage and no amount about of telling other people to be better will correct for its foundational problems." I've been thinking on this lately, it does make sense. Never been in a position to try it until now.

What is your strategy for trying it? Are you starting a company?

I quit one.

What a short-sided article. I actually think it's more often the other way around--that engineers keep pissing off product managers! ;-)

Part of the problem, in my opinion, is that engineering tends not to give feedback, as much as they give derision. And product management tends to be too timid to stand up for themselves.

In reality, we all piss off each other. We'd all be better served if egos were checked at the door, and we could have open, collaborative conversations about creating really great products.
