Hah, well, I do gripe quite a lot. But I try not to be too negative and be very mindful about that. Because, you know, being a CTO and a negative example and all that. First person shooters help tremendously as well, after work.
- FeepingCreature 4y agoYeah I try to be negative about technology more than people, but sometimes it's hard to resist. I guess I also try to slag off on people in inverse proportion to how likely they are to hear about it. The point after all is to release stress, not to hurt anybody. Conversely, I don't mind if people talk behind my back. I barely mind if people talk in front of me! Generally if you say my code is shit I'll probably agree with you. edit: Usually the way it works out where I work is, one person gripes, the other feels compelled to defend, and it balances out. Advantage of contrarianism.
- RamblingCTO 4y agoI get what you mean, I would just be worried about what it means to your relationship to that person.
- FeepingCreature 4y agoWell, if I ever need to have a relationship with Lennart Poettering or Greg Young I guess I'll do a lot of walking-back. :) (Important to clarify that I try to strongly avoid talking bad about people I actually have a directish work relation to.)
