I have strong opinions about some things. The best advice I ever got was to 'Stop re-litigating the past'. This came after some contentious discussion with my product counterparts. (I'm a software engineer, but have thoughts on product design). Discussions, sometimes even arguments, are a great way to explore the idea-space and try to find the best solution. However, once there is a decision, everyone needs to accept and internalize it. Even when I disagree about what we conclude, if the consensus goes one way, I'll follow. I suppose if this happens enough, maybe it's time to find a new team that shares your views. (And note, I'm sure there are areas of security/privacy/etc. that maybe this shouldn't apply)
