Here’s the thing… code is much closer to doing group therapy than it is to flipping burgers. The final produced artifact is somewhat less important than converging on the tiny itty-bitty details of how to collaborate on the journey of getting there.

Spending time trying to understand the perspective of a chatbot is a waste of time. You’re not going to be able to build a community around having a good developer experience for doing XYZ if half of the people weighing in on “how to do that” are not developers who are directly experiencing the thing they’re poking at.
