Communication ≠ politics.
Communication in engineering should rely on empirical data not personal opinion or vibes.
The post above only has one sentence where they make a unsupported claim that being involved in politics was necessary to have completed the feature.
The bridge example is to show that personal opinion has no place in projects and that workers should not capitulate to their superiors when they determine unsafe situations are occuring. The “shoddy bolt my boss designed” would be a stand in for whatever crummy practice people are being political about in a software project. From a shitty tech stack to bad project management practices.
Ego and politics is the death of a project.


Politics has no place in engineering disciplines. Imagine if we talked about building bridges like this. “Sorry your entire family died when the bridge failed. My boss has an ego and we have to use the shitty bolts he designed. I’m just doing my job”
Granted not all projects carry this degree of risk but we shouldn’t normalize sub standard practice. Long term risk is generated by bad code which can be and often is detrimental to the profitablity of a project. One of your jobs as a software developer is to be able to communicate this effectively with management. There are cost implications to churning out shitty code.
Bad form > poor product > unsatisfied users > loss in sales to competitors
I half way agree. I always say form shapes function. Sure you can write good code in any language. But some encourage it more then others. Ultimately it’s the programmer fault when things get over complex though
The most most most annoying thing for me in the workplace is when someone says “politics” god I want to explode. we are a business, We should do what makes sense for the business not what some random MBA feels will pad his resume. So infuriating.


I’ll take python over JavaScript any day
The system failed because they didn’t capture all the requirements and did some lazy testing and a shitty “MVP”


Or someone could make one


We use plastic for alot of things that need to be sterile. Food packaging medical equipment etc


I wish it want thrown around like it was AGI.
AI for ML systems has always kinda been a misleading term after it was co-oped by science fiction


It’s the models that make the difference. Up until like Nov it’s all been really shit


It uses the chloroplast as the algae uses them. It doesn’t really it them it uses them to photosynthesize. If you took the wing off the chicken and used it to fly you could say that was stealing its wing


I see these little guys in the mangrove swamps down in Florida. Very quick


I’m dealing with this currently. Thank you all for confirming that I’m not crazy


What will happen to all our devs when they never actually spend they never develop anything


I read, when you read you gain very deep insight if it’s written well


I’m 50 million years when Antarctica is a jungle again, it’d be a great sailing location


I’m very excited for this plot line
That’s just miss representing the data for political reasons. Again it’s just politics which has no place in engineering
