Advocates having people that can both (ux) design and engineer the software. They’ll help ‘bridge the gap’ between ux people and software engineers, which is stated as being beneficial. I also believe this to be true, but don’t have any actual evidence. Disappointed to see the book doesn’t have any either, the more given the claim it makes at the start of the book (“Organizations that recognize the opportunity in the gap between design and engineering will outpace those that fail to invest in it.”)

Eh, this book is pretty basic. It's pretty much just saying that it's cool to have people who can engineer and design stuff. I mean, yeah sure but I've managed teams for 18 years and have never met one. Weird that the book doesn't acknowledge their rarity, or more importantly, how to create those people.

I don't know, nothing really useful here. Pretty sure some career wranglers got a copywriter to pump out something generic so they could say "I published a book".
