Question is, can this be faked? What we're saying is that coders are often willing to pay for "a seat at the table". But maybe management can sell them a place

Question is, can this be faked?
What we're saying is that coders are often willing to pay for "a seat at the table". But maybe management can sell them a placebo.
It's not clear-cut that management ignoring coders will always turn out for the worse, even though management that always ignores coders probably has, historically. Maybe sometimes their voice matters and sometimes not.
- awat 6y agoOh it definitely can be faked. But so many orgs don’t even attempt to show they’re faking it.
- rkangel 6y agoIt can be faked to the engineers, it can't be faked to reality. Companies for whom engineering is key need to (at least to some extent) organise themselves around engineering. The strategic decisions need to take into account the needs and capabilities of engineering and engineers. If they don't then they won't be good at it. They'll be staffed with mediocre people who generate mediocre output very slowly.
