When you take the individual out of the equation, then you're making programming based on some marketer's idea of what will sell, and not based on the idea of what an individual would like.

Marketing is the obverse of programming.
Someone told me that each equation I included in the book would halve the sales.
Programming is one of the most difficult branches of applied mathematics; the poorer mathematicians had better remain pure mathematicians.
It typically takes multiple iterations and pivots to find product/market fit - the match between what you're building and who will buy it.
The market turns out to be just one special case of collective decision-making.
Markets work when people can evaluate the prices and risks of different products, then pick the ones that work best for them. But when the terms of the deal are hidden, competition doesn't work. And customers aren't the only ones who are hurt.
You can't allow other people to put a price on what you do, otherwise you don't consider what you do to have any value at all, and that's nonsense.
The whole market mechanism and its evolution is something that, I'm kind of of the Buffett School. You know, if I see a derivative, I run the other way.
So everybody has some information. The function of the markets is to aggregate that information, evaluate it, and get it incorporated into prices.
We don't want to push our ideas on to customers, we simply want to make what they want.
