Building technology might be actually kind of easy compared to finding product-market fit. The latter might be better described as "sales team - network - existing practices - existing monopolies - adoptation rate - product iteration speed - right region" fit.
Yeah - casually ruling out the moon and sun in the article's first sentence feels a bit underhanded. Beyond pedantry, what's the point of the "Planets Only" sign?
This is a poor design for Europe which has limits on the length of the tractor and trailer combined. Anybody using this tractor in Europe will have to use a shorter trailer.
Does this person respect certain people in their environment? Why, on what basis?
It seems something makes this person tick but it hasn't been figured out what that is.
It's not about the contents of those disagreements. It's about them not being in a collaborative mode. It might be lack of creativity, lack of autonomy, lack of perceived excellence.
Just my two cents with the little info I got here.
I think there's a use case for all kinds of price levels, but there's a sweet spot.
Anecdotally. I bought a 3D printer when it dropped below 1000 bucks. I bought the Emotiv Epoc when at 300 bucks. I bought a Saleae logic analyser at the same price level if I remember correctly. Same with other tools or toys. The HackRF, the Kinect, the Quest, etc.
The higher the price the more you'll have to explain to people how they can justify the costs. You'll have to explain how much personnel hours are being saved, etc.
The more I'm in this space (of manufacturing electronic devices) the more I'm convinced Bill of Material (BOM) and in general Cost of Goods Sold (COGS) optimization is essential. Companies that can do this in a lean manner without excessive engineering costs to do so can truly drive the price down.
If there is this operational excellence, then you can truly give most power to your strategists in the sales and marketing departments. Otherwise, they have no tradeoffs to consider and are just victims of sloppy (non-cost conscious) engineering.
