What Dave Bailey proposes with NVC is a cancer for engineering.
All things being equal, anybody's opinion or emotion is equally valuable. That is rarely the case in engineering.
Some of his examples indicate the lack of a roadmap is causing friction, not the request itself.
If you can't frame your request in logical terms, don't make the request. In other words, do the opposite of what Bailey proposes.
- peterwwillis 7y agoYou do realize that proposing that NVC is a cancer is a negative and threatening statement, right? (Cancer is generally considered negative, being that it's a fatal disease...) People who don't already agree with you are going to have a negative emotional reaction to this and immediately disagree without trying to understand your point of view. If you are trying to convince someone of your opinion, you are failing. If you are trying to assert your opinion forcefully without caring what others think, you are succeeding.
- redis_mlc 7y agoExactly.
