I see a strong argument for reading this book if you don't have much technical grounding:
Primarily: your career would be well served if you could speak more intelligently about the technologies behind the product(s) your company sells.
Secondarily: speaking more fluently about technology would open up better lines of communication between you and the people who build your company's product.
Lastly: reading this book might reduce the number of expensive (or technically painful, even ludicrous) product ideas you come to the product team with.
All good things.
@bentossell The idea was long lived: throughout my career, I interacted with PMs, designers, self-taught programmers, recruiters who I felt with a slightly more informed technical background, could improve their daily interactions with engineers. It took me over a year to finish the book. I started with an outline and started drilling down. Writing wasn't the hard part, it was the editing process! I sent it to many co-workers and friends to clarify the explanations. I hope the Product Hunt community enjoys this book!
