Number 4 in Musashi's rules for learning the art:
"Be knowledgeable in a variety of occupations, and learn the thinking of people who work in them."
The client is seldom another developer and their software is something they need to use, not you. Becoming familiar with how they do their work is essential to establishing how to deliver value during development. Being familiar with how people who aren't the client do their work might even open up possibilities for doing things a new way, delivering even more value. Just as the thinking of traditional engineering led to the awful mess that is waterfall software development, the thinking of a computer savvy coder by itself may not lead to the best solution to a problem.
