To be honest, I'm a total introvert. I've spent my career as an IC, but I’m trying to transition into being an "Architect" of systems that people actually value and pay for. The biggest hurdle for me isn't the code. It's talking to customers. I’ve always been told to read The Mom Test, but I’m a visual learner and usually too busy building to sit down with a business book. I used Vectree to generate a schematic for the book’s core framework (the "juice") so I could understand the filter process at a glance. It turned out to be a perfect example of why I built this: https://vectree.io/c/the-mom-test https://vectree.io/c/the-mom-test If you’re like me and want to understand a methodology or a complex system without the 200-page commitment, this is how I'm using the tool myself.
