Don't Be a Tech Snob: Why the Best Code Always Loses to Marketing | Episode 55
Mamuna and Lola tackle the core misconception in engineering culture: the belief that the superior technologyalways wins the market. They break down why product packaging, user experience, and distribution often beat out technical perfection.
💡 We Cover:
- The fatal flaw: Being technicallysuperior does not mean being commercially successful.
- Why engineers default to asking for the "APILink" or "SDK" when analyzing competitors.
- Case Studies: How Apple (iPod, iPhone)and OpenAI (ChatGPT) won by centering the human and democratizing access, notby inventing the underlying tech.
- Product vs. Ego: You must solve acustomer pain or deliver a clear gain to motivate people to pay.
