I thought that anti-values were the true, unstated values of an organization. Some examples from pockets of my org…
“The more important you are, the less you touch code/servers/things”
“Lots of meetings means you’re important.” (People will frequently humblebrag “I have 13 meetings today”)
“Create a problem, present a problem, let someone else solve, celebrate the solution.”
There’s also many positive values that I think outweigh these anti-values.
- huetius 5y agoI wonder if I’ve misunderstood, but as a developer, I like being given problems, rather than solutions. I’ve also found being able to formulate a customer or business problem well enough that others can come up with a good solution is a real skill which (IMHO) should receive recognition.
- prepend 5y agoOh yeah me too. I mean create a problem like “log in and delete the config so the system crashes” then say “it’s broken who can fix.” I love being presented with puzzles and problems. I hate people messing up, creating crises, and pushing the mess off to other people.
