As a thought experiment imagine your manager asks you about the new node.js fork and whether you should switch to it.
What would you say?

- thehardsphere 9y agoIf your manager is aware enough of the situation to know there is a fork, but is not aware enough to know that the fork is pure politics, it might be time to change managers. That is such an odd superposition of being simultaneously informed and not that one couldn't help but wonder what other strategic mistakes would happen.

- thehardsphere 9y agoIf your manager is relying on mainstream news to inform decisions regarding their product's primary software dependency, it might be time to change managers.
