If that isn&#8217;t true, nobody is interested in what you have to say. Imagine!<\/p>\n<p>One thing that always impressed me when I was working for BMW many eons ago, was that those BMW engineers definitely built their cars for themselves, and used them every day for their own lives, with a passion. Boy, would they come back to the office next morning and complain and insist that changes be made. It makes for better products. More intense, more honest, products.<\/p>\n<p>#Selfdogfooding is like that. They build it, and they only build what they mean. It&#8217;s so refreshing. And some really cool stuff is coming out of it, like <a href=\"http:\/\/indiewebcamp.com\/comment\">distributed blog comments<\/a>, or <a href=\"http:\/\/werd.io\/content\/checkins\">checkins<\/a> without Foursquare and the like. Their movement is growing, not surprisingly.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Endless meetings.
