Effective communication is good for your career. People don't want to work with someone who slings distracting insults.
You can say "This will cost $50K, but we can't afford more than $5K, and I think we can do it $500", or "a 10x customer will cost 100x to serve, but a different design can bring that down to 10x".
SaaS without the sass.

- zo1 3y agoI know the scenario. I've been there. Sometimes people just want to move on. I've been in meetings where people got annoyed at me asking the "tough" questions and pressing them on their design for an hour. At the end you have to realize technical merit is not the final arbiter, it's mindshare, and that's usually driven by the "chosen" group or favorites.
