Yes, you absolutely are. They are colors.
It's okay to disagree, but once the decision is made, you move on. You throwing a public fit is unbecoming of a CTO and would shake any confidence I had in you as a leader.
If everyone else is in agreement, and you're the only dissenter, you are the problem, not them.
Drop the issue and move on. If it's really as bad as you think, it can be changed later. Otherwise just accept that you're wrong.
- jFriedensreich 5y ago"Public Fit" was maybe bad wording, of course my dev team has no idea this is even happening and i did not waste a minute of their time on this topic. Public only in the sense of "in front of everyone involved in the redesign"
- sushid 5y agoIs everyone else really in agreement over this color scheme/redesign? I can't fully empathize but I can see how a truly hideous color (subjective of course) could bother me quite a bit. Other post already mentioned this but is there some leeway here? (e.g. if it's bright pink can you work with the folks involved in this process to make it slightly more subdued, for instance). And what is the hex code(s)? I'd imagine the color scheme would have to be extremely hideous for it to be this trigger to me, personally.
- jFriedensreich 5y agoi don't know if they are in agreement on the colors but they are in agreement that they don't see an issue and don't want to invest even a second dealing with it. there seems to be no leeway i just asked for minimal changes as a compromise, also the hex codes are here. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29916162 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29916162
