Understanding Where the Product Is Headed

Developers do their best work when they understand more than the
next ticket.


In this episode, I talk about why knowing where the product is
headed, and why a change matters, helps engineers make better
technical decisions, spot risks earlier, and build solutions that
fit the bigger picture.


It is not about questioning every request. It is about asking
enough questions to understand the real problem, the customer
impact, and the outcome the team is trying to achieve.


Because writing the requested code is one thing. Building the
right solution is another.
