From a PM perspective:
1) Developers who don't challenge mine or customer decisions and then complain afterwards that what we did was stupid and he had known better all along.
2) Related: Developers who answer every question with "no" or "that's impossible" even though with a slight variation it would be possible or attaining the goal would be possible in another way he knows about.
- tomlagier 8y agoI see 1) quite a bit, and notice that I'm guilty of it as well. I think it applies copiously to both product and code decisions and I always wonder why that is. I think it fundamentally boils down to insecurity - only by convincing yourself that your decisions are the correct ones, even if it's given the generous advantage of hindsight, can you be assured that you're as valuable as the people who made the initial ones.
