Been in the industry for 15 years. I never met any situation like the one described in the post.
People say “that won’t work because X”, and others reply “yes it might work because Y”
Usually things end up with “let’s give it a shot” or everybody agreeing that it won’t work.
In a few rare cases, people disagree and the discussion can heat up, but eventually the thing that’s decided will or will not work, and resolution will come from there.
Please don’t just box people in non-existing “that-won’t-work” persona .
- phnofive 5y agoIt reads as a strawman arguement; the first proposal is to let bad ideas get discussed since they might inspire good ideas like a reborn phoenix. But really, a good idea will likely inspire better ideas, without the baggage of a myth.
- only_as_i_fall 5y agoAgreed. The way the article describes these interactions seems totally out of line with my real experiences, but maybe that's just me...
- Popegaf 5y agoBeen in the industry for close to the same time and it has come up multiple times in companies of all sizes (15 employees to 10k employees). It may be the culture (West and South Europe), but that didn't stop people from continuing the train of thought "hold on, let me finish". So no, this isn't contrived. Some cultures are just pretty blunt.
