I don’t think I made that argument. I’m advocating for focus from the engineers. Focus on architecture, code quality, tech debt, etc.
Focus on that stuff also means NOT having engineers doing other things, like sitting in a booth at a conference, playing with color schemes in Figma, creating financial projections for a new feature, etc, etc.
Engineers should do what they’re good at, and POs should do what they’re good at. Side quests are fun, but don’t help the business work efficiently.
