RE: You Don't Need to Know How

["Swallow, William" <WSwallow -at- courion -dot- com>]

::  KNOW YOUR AUDIENCE!

I think the issue goes far beyond knowing your audience. Because your
audience just needs to know what button to click, does not mean you only
learn that much of the product. At the same time, knowing too much runs the
risk most developers face: they are too intimate with the product and can't
speak to it outside that scope.

Also, I think it goes without saying that the more you know, the more
marketable you are...

I dunno. My salad's getting warm. ;)
