6:17 I very much agree with this. I have a sense that product owners are generally not trained in software engineering, which leads to a few extra problems. They don’t have the needed skills to make good software architectural decisions, and ultimately force the development team down paths they wouldn’t ordinarily go down, and designers are easier for the product owner to communicate with because there is less of a skills gap, so it’s much easier for the product owner to direct a project that way. I think product owners should generally be skilled in software engineering, and the less technical skilled people currently in product owner roles should become key stakeholders of requirements. I also think separated backend and frontend teams have created some odd choices in the frontend frameworks, which is why we are currently seeing Server Components pop up and marketed as a new concept as if SSR never existed. I honestly don’t know how you can efficiently create front end UIs without also having the ability to create and modify the backend. It’s always seemed odd to me. Probably why solutions like GraphQL exist too.
