Problem is communication there.
> A manager came to me asking if we should rewrite the checkout of our E-Commerce platform using React because they had read a blog post about another company doing it
All questions can be reflected easily.
> Is our checkout page not performing well?
> Will a new checkout solve our problem?
Will React make our checkout page performing better / improve checkout ?
> Why do they think a technology change is a solution?
Can technology change (to React) improve our situation in anyway?
Do they understand the implications of such a switch?
> What would be the implications if we switch to React?
Now those questions OP can answer. Manager read a blog post, he obviously don't have answer to this questions, that's why he is asking OP if they should rewrite.
Asking "Why do they think a technology change is a solution?" is making wrong assumption that, manager thinks "technology change is a solution"
- peteradio 4y agoIf the manager has no clue then why are they bringing the ideas? They could spend all day long pitching dog shit that engineering has to bat away, is that the managers job to be the ideas guy?
- bluesign 4y agoFrom what I understood, manager in this context is not technical at all. They read somewhere their competitor using a new technology, and asking if it makes sense if they use that too.
