The users are only the means to get our egos up. Of course, when their number grows so does our ego, and of course you'll do anything to make the user happy because that's how you get more of them. If you didn't care, your piece of software would be lousy, and you'll feel like a real loser. (which, needless to say, is bad for your ego) If you would meet one of your (average) users, you'd probably punch him in the face, hit him in the balls, then walk all over the dumb bastard!

So like in my case, when you're working for a company which is developing the application for another company which will sell it to the actual users.

The instant one forgets that, they either pivot real quick, or lose. Keep going! It’s always been about the users. The instant one forgets that, they either pivot real quick, or lose.
