democratized millennial coddling of Silicon Valley What does this even mean? I'm sorry that you felt your time was wasted in meetings, but you seem to ignore

  It means what it means. Do you want me to define each word? It doesn't mean ignoring devs who have foresight; it means looking at the options and picking the best one. Not endlessly debating. We agree on the approach but I think you misread my comment as being a unilateral decision all the way through. I'm just saying you have to be able to make a tough decision without waffling and without all of the facts but with enough conviction that people fall into line with you.

    Yes, and of course there is a middle ground between "my way/highway" and endless discussion. Debate for an hour (even two?), ask everyone their opinion, and then make a decision. Revisit in a month or three.

    > It means what it means. Do you want me to define each word? The most meaning that can be extracted is about your worldview. The fact is, there are indecisive weenies, and there are over-confident blowhards, but most people fall somewhere in between. When you complain about the culture in general, especially in a get-off-my-lawn manner, it sort of pushes you into the far end of the spectrum where you start to lose credibility with your employees because they realize over time the confidence is not commensurate with the knowledge and expertise.
