      The legal profession sucks since you need to satisfy the client; I'd rather be in tech, screwing the customer.

      If you're screwing them, they aren't the real customer.

      its true. user != customer in huge swathes of tech. they align in like, gaming and office software, and are different in almost every other domain.

      It feels trite to say but it fits here: the users are (part of) the product!

      This became more than a pithy anti-tech mantra to me when I was working on something, and I realized I might have to build /another/ product & distribute it freely, just to use the data for the real product & actual intended customers.

      LOL. I imagine there are situations where companies have daisy-chains of info-gathering projects tied to a target project.

      aye, one that comes to mind is that Google “which famous work of art do you look like” thing... its own, widely promoted, self-contained app ostensibly unrelated to any actual product

      there's a ton of examples of that kind. the most famous one, I think, was the use of ReCaptcha to solve problems in Google's automated book scanning project. (they don't do that anymore and ReCaptcha has since been redesigned)

          Right, I was gonna say, seems like they re-tooled it for driverless cars. (-- Hm, wonder if they could use the audio version (which is weak ofc) to help generate songs or recognize accents or something.)
