>where I say, "Hey, let me show you something."
So... what you like is making it harder for other people to work by forcing them to pay attention to you according to your whims. I much prefer a coworker reaching out to me on Slack and saying "When you have time, let me show you something." And then I get back to them when I've finished what I am working on.
- icelancer 5y agoSure, that's fine - you like that. Do you have empathy towards 90% of the remainder of a company who doesn't like that?
- irrational 5y agoDo you mean 90% of developers? Because 100% of the developers I work with agree with me.
- wpietri 5y agoAgain, it depends on the company. For in-house software, which is quite a lot of the software out there, the people I need to show it to are not developers, but users. Given that I specified users, it seems pretty obvious we're talking about the whole company. You clearly want other people to show empathy and try to honor the way you like to work. So I'll repeat icelander's question: Do you have empathy towards 90% of the remainder of a company who doesn't like that?
- icelancer 5y agoNo. There are other parts of a business besides developers/engineers.
