>Being aligned with teammates on what you're building is more important than building the right thing.

Goodness this is incredibly naive.

It can only be true only if youre working without customers or stakeholders and who the hell works that way other than hobbyists and startups that are indiscriminately wasting other people's money? The vast majority of software I've written (I'm outside the valley) is written for actual paying customers, and it must be "the right thing," ie, exactly what they paid you to build.

Beyond that, if you're, for example, writing an emulator and the emulator works different than the system it's emulating that's a failure no matter how "aligned" your team is. Nobody will buy it and nobody would even use if you gave it away.
