I feel like using tech as a means to connect with people who dislike all the tech being brought into Seattle may not be the best way to go.

When i go out with friends (and friends of friends) here in Seattle, the topics always drift to tech and work because that's the common ground for everyone. It's kind of annoying to me and it's something i'm passionate about. I can imagine why people would be somewhat hostile if they don't enjoy tech and that's all that half the people they meet want to talk about.

But who communicates this to the customer? How decides what features are built (in a larger company)? Who pitches these new features to potential customers?

At a big enough company where the engineers aren't the ones doing this work, the benefits of any engineering achievement is moot if those other 3 groups don't do their jobs well.

Sports like football and hockey would be even more dangerous if "everyone" was able to use PED's. You're just going to raise the physicality that much more.
