And then there is being the nihilist because the company and project managers won't allow you to improve or fix anything anyway.

- devoply 9y agoWell I was thinking the nihilist programmer gets fired a lot less often than an optimist programmer does. Mainly because he gets the job done, while the optimist programmer often finds he's bit off more than he can chew and is choking on it... and the company is not happy because they are not getting RESULTS, which is all that they care about.
- tempodox 9y agoThis may seem logical, but in practise it doesn't work that way. Optimists make for a better mood in the workplace, which interestingly is more important on a day-to-day basis than achieving results (barring any obvious negligence).
