This is good advise. A lot of devs, or techies in general, often live in a bubble,so end up thinking that if their standard dev shop has all the integrations, automations,and whatnot,so it should be the same everywhere else too. It blows my mind when see businesses operate in a way as it was 1900. I still remember how I told a business owner with 50 people or so how they could use shared mailbox in the operations, so it's easier to pickup the inbound emails as multiple people work on it.. It was as I just showed the path to enlightenment. However, it's difficult to see these problems when you are an outsider,so my advice is to go out and speak with many people who work in different sectors and face very different problems than an average HN reader.
