I agree. Corporate speak is the worst combination of ass-covering and abdication of responsibility. I think people mean well when they talk about empathy and kindness, but those concepts assume that the only reality is how we feel and speak about things, when generally it's the underlying reality that is painful or harsh. And when you have to deliver a product, you can't avoid that reality. I try to address it by frequently talking about my own fuckups and thus making it easier for junior devs to understand that failing is something we all go through. But nothing can change the fact that it hurts to invest deeply in something and see it fail. We can't make pain go away, so it's better to just get it over with and learn to adapt to it and be resilient.
