If you are using this as a metaphor for a decision you personally consider stupid, then maybe.
If it's actually putting diesel in a gas car, then no, I can't imagine any case in which an intern couldn't safely tell that to their director or CEO.
- belval 6y agoIt puzzles me whenever a thread like this comes up on HN, how I either always had reasonable managers or people are exaggerating a lot. When something is obviously not going to work akin to diesel in a gas car, I have never met someone who wasn't willing to at least take a second look at their "solution".
