Every business is built by people to deliver some value to other people, so I'd risk to say that technology alone is not enough to get on with people. This is a skill which I personally had to develop and it took me almost 10 years to get it 'sort of' right. I, like author of this post, was mismanaging relationship with people I was expected to report to, many times it was my lack of maturity. I remember the situation when I was first tech hire and had very good relationship with CEO, yet when CEO hired manager (who loved to micromanage) I failed to handle the situation as grown-up, instead I got attached to how much I brought into the company erc etc. Years after I left I got things right with people I worked with, and from perspecrive of time I think it is difficult to be humble and to communicate in such way that people want to listen and to try to understand my point of view.
I think author of the blog could prevented escalation with manager he was reporting to, some words he was choosing when communicating were quite ... edgy. And it seems he is picking up his lessons, good that he sees there is something he could have done better.
- mib32 4y agoThe big question is - maybe we should really move away from capitalism, to something like communism, but more like crazy utopic communism, where everyone is CEO? So such kind of problems wouldn't really happen? How do you think, could it help? UPD: please don't downvote me, I am on spectrum
- cbozeman 4y agoYou're being downvoted because your idea runs counter to the nature of humanity. We do not like, and eventually will not tolerate, people who do not contribute a certain amount to the tribe. Members of the tribe that could not, or would not, contribute we banished to exile to die in the wilderness. This is why Communism in any form cannot and will not work. There has never been, and will never be, a perfectly equal distribution of work amongst the people in a tribe, a village, a town, a city, a state, a nation. You cannot distribute equal resources for unequal effort and expect cohesion.
- mib32 4y agoMy idea is about that, I think that every developer, when joins the project, must have an equal share of the whole profit of the company, just like the founders do. Otherwise it's not fair, that the product of their labor doesn't bring them any dividends. But I agree that it's of course strange, for example, why would the builder of the house get the part of profits of the house after it's built? It's also a bit not fair
