If you’re a domain expert but you can’t build stuff yourself, then you’re severely underpowered.

If you’re technical but you rely on someone else for domain expertise, then you’re also severely underpowered.

If you’re one of those people and you found your complement in someone else, then that’s great, but you’re still somewhat underpowered. Yes, you can get things done together, but the cycles of communication and coordination will still turn much slower and cut much shallower than if they were happening entirely within your own brain.

It’s best to be a technical domain expert and work with other technical domain experts when possible.
