I feel the more general lesson here is that zealotry in our industry is almost always a bad thing. Whether it be in technology choices, development paradigms, project management techniques, training strategies, or even just how you deal with your staff and coworkers.
Whenever I come across a zealot in a professional setting, I'm fairly certain they're intentionally ignorant toward better ways of tackling certain problems (big red flag).
- projectileboy 8y agoI agree, although I would qualify your last statement a bit to allow for (a) the zealot is usually well-intentioned, and (b) the zealot is usually not intentionally ignorant, but rather hasn’t yet learned that context matters.
