This has a mirror point of view: many developers have a way of working that excessively focuses on abstract details (refactoring, optimization, obscure edge cases, niche features) which in the end often simply means staying in their own really technical comfort zone, procrastinating the shipping of a truly functional product.
I think the solution is simply integrating competencies, investing 80% of your time on the core skills and spending 20% on collateral ones. Improve the variety of your skills and put yourself in others' shoes. This 20% permits overlapping others' core skills, creating a valuable collaboration.
And finally, don't forget to listen to the end users.
Based on personal experience, I absolutely agree with this:
