HA said the master craftsman to the apprentice. Doth thou really think a master such as myself would hammer nails? I am in important zoom meetings! Surely it would be distasteful to touch such dirty tools at my level.
- xeromal 4y agoIt's not snobbery. It's that their time is better spent planning and being strategic. it's like throwing Eisenhower into the trenches. Sure, he's a good soldier, but it's time and experience wasted.
- LAC-Tech 4y agoHow much nail hammering does a foreman at a construction site do? He's hammered nails before. Hammering different looking ones in a new location is not going to be very useful or educational for him. And I've seen what happens when a whole team of devs get invited into a zoom meeting like that - they're bored out of their skull, most likely sitting there browsing the social media du jour, and I can't blame them.

Yes because aligning goals, putting together a system,scoping work, and synching business goals with technical milestones adds no value at all. It's the nail-hammerer who believes that JIRA tickets spring from the JIRA ticket tree magically aligned that caries the whole org on their shoulders.
