uh it feels tangible and real but it's
sort of underelling the job that each of
you does. Code is sort of 10 to 20% of
the value that you bring. The other 80
to 90% is in structured communication
and this is going to be different for
everyone but a process typically looks
something like you talk to users in
order to understand their challenges.
You distill these stories down and then
ideulate about how to solve these
problems. What what is the goal that you
want to achieve? You plan ways to
achieve those goals. You share those
plans with your colleagues.
