Isn’t the proposed “solution” obvious? Isn’t it just normal, decent human behavior in social situations with potentially conflicting views? Does anyone actually speak in absolutes similar to the ones in the article?
- crdoconnor 7y agoYes. People who don't have the competence to judge your competence usually infer competence from confidence. Non technical managers are particularly susceptible to this kind of thing. I find a lot of developers who pick up on this act with overconfidence as a result.
- dictum 7y agoMany thought leaders on social media do. They also write like this. Short sentences, free of uncertainty. They give direct orders, separated by 3 newline characters. Beginners are surprised. If you don't do the same, you cannot count yourself among the best. (This is satire, but if you're online enough to discover this group, you'll recognize them.)
