I agree. I'm a bit confused by the response as well. Idk what I need to clarify but I'm open to suggestions.
I was hoping that dichotomy of sacrificing product for profit or profit for product would help but I'm unsure. Multiple people seemed to have misunderstood but I'm also unsure what was confusing. Frankly I'm having a hard time understanding how they reached such a dramatically different interpretation.
How is that focusing on the product?
Focusing on the product means solving problems for your customers, exactly what you said they should be doing
You're both arguing for the same thing
