Why I admire Ryan is "I shouldn't just complain without giving a solution..." and he gave a solution, more than once. I have done this on a no-one-cares scale

Why I admire Ryan is "I shouldn't just complain without giving a solution..." and he gave a solution, more than once. I have done this on a no-one-cares scale but it really is better to do yourself when you can. Also, Ryan has some sharp sarcastic wit which is pretty fun to watch on this talk.
- ahmetkun 8y agoYou can see the same sarcastic wit in this talk too: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jo_B4LTHi3I https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jo_B4LTHi3I It's still my favorite tech talk, very fun to watch.
- draw_down 8y agoI thought that was nice too, but I wish we as an industry placed a little more value on simply admitting that something is bad or suboptimal. You're not supposed to "complain" or "be negative", which I think is unfortunate in lots of ways.
- sebringj 8y agoYah I get that. I remember at my work, I said something negative about how we were sending out emails that they looked like they were from 1990. I got a lot of backlash for complaining but next day gave them a modern solution and bam, they were super happy. Maybe its just human nature but providing something to fix it rather than just being unhappy alone is more powerful.
- elliotec 8y agoBut people do complain and be negative without offering solutions by far most of the time. And there is not much value in that anyway.
