we do it all backwards. it's not even the tail wagging the dog. it's someone grabbing the tail and using it to pound the poor dog against the wall.

we don't talk to users, don't understand our users, ignore actual feedback that we do get from our users, then sit there wondering why users don't seem to love the shiny widget we just shipped.
