: I *do* care about devs! It's a vile slur & misrepresentation to suggest I don't. But I'm not confused about total priority order.

: projects cross my desk "near launch" and then I frequently have to coax teams through getting to "OK" (not good) /cc

Yup. And imagine that in a 4 person startup that’s perpetually two weeks from running out of cash.
