Don't necessarily disagree, but the point about what to accrue- I would posit that ground knowledge of both accounting and tech is important. An asset is from a tech perspective is different from an asset from a finance perspective. A given effort towards a specific end may be considered creating an asset from a finance perspective and creating debt from a tech perspective. Conversely, it may be valuable from a finance perspective to classify work as opex that is actually asset building from a tech perspective. The language and semantics don't translate cleanly.

Agree tho they can start in those areas- and of course just talking across domains is infinitely valuable on its own accord. Cheers.
