This exists in programming too. People joining a project often start pushing for it to include every great idea they heard about at their last job (or the one they bounced to/from). Psychologically I think it's the same thing. Call it "Developer from Google Syndrome" I guess.
- thinkingemote 6y agoI think a better one would be a manager who was not participating much who, when learning of some major illness of a code center, diagnosed by an external consultant, attempts to fix it and instead makes things worse. The metaphor would be that if the manager was doing their job they would agree with the diagnosis of the consultants. Thinking about it perhaps it's not a manager but a senior developer. Someone with some limited power.

Maybe she feels that she needs to make up for all the care and attention she didn't give while the parent was healthy. Maybe she is in shock for not realizing the situation earlier. How is this like a programmer switching jobs?
