It's really about neither.

It's about whether your code earns someone money.

Why does the https://fusionauth.io/ website suck then?

Enough of these code is worthless propaganda articles.

they are not saying code is worthless. they are saying that code which serves nobody is worthless. if you think that website sucks, it probably means that whoever is behind it don't know (or care) that a user like you exist, which is a pity.

Not really, even with a venture backed company. The investors only care if they believe there will be paying customers, and at the end of the day those are people.

In many cases the customer and user are not the same (e.g. healthcare, Microsoft’s business, Google, et al)

Exactly, so the most important thing is convincing investors there will be paying customers.

Not having paying customers.

“Eventually I realised restaurants are about diners, not knives.”

More accurate to say restaurants are about people, not food. May be an apt analogy - chefs and cooks spend their time in the kitchen preparing food for a diner they don’t see.

How to make a people problem worse:

- Umbrellas are about people, not rain.

- But your umbrella will keep me dry, right?

- The materials, the shape, none of it is really important.

- I'm not sure what you mean. Give me some hard numbers. How much rainfall the fabric can take? Was it built with quality?

- At the end of the day, an umbrella is just a tool.
