Matt Pocock(@mattpocockuk):An absolutely GOATed example of domain knowledge being important I'm working on my video editor. I know enough about phonetics to know that certain consonants can fiddle around with silence detection. I tell my agent that. The word 'fricative' is enough for it to start busting out full IPA (international phonetic alphabet) and we brainstorm which consonants are the most troublesome. Turns out, knowing things is really fucking valuable.
