🤝 Modern product development is a collaborative endeavor

There is no way around this -- even if you are a Company of One. You must collaborate with:

▶ OSS communities who provide the tools and software you use,

▶ Your customers -- if you are not learning from them, you probably won't understand and fulfill their needs,

▶ and Your team.

While the last item on the list is obvious, the first two are less obvious, but perhaps just as important.
