>Your memo was a triumph of motivated reasoning
The irony is palpable. "Larry" cites a bunch of well reasoned essays that support his view, but there were plenty of the same supporting James'.
>Teamwork, in particular, is important
At this point I feel they didn't even read James' essay. He points this out, and as a potential solution suggests pair programming should be emphasized.
I don't agree with everything James put forth in his "manifesto," but I don't think he should be demonized for putting forth a well reasoned argument. I think he brings up a great point in this "diversity equals morality" culture stifles real discussion and real solutions. He attempted to put forth a few solutions, which is more than I can say for this article.
- humanrebar 9y ago> diversity equals morality Good point. The "Larry" memo does nothing to promote healthy discussion. It's just a longer form rebuttal that more or less says, "You're wrong enough to be despicable, so we fired you."
