Well then bussiness people are also disconnected from reality. If a developer can write code and estimate and deliver in time for bussiness, then he is not an employee. He is a founder. What you want is people that deliver like a founder but that don't get any share of the profits. You want gullible people.
- mmcnl 3y agoHonestly, I think you are an unwilling prime example of a disconnected developer. Why don't you instead try to found common ground and work from there? Who says "business people" aren't capable of dealing with uncertainty? You are making a caricature of a very simple, reasonable request. We're all just people with the same goals. Stop trying to enlarge differences.
- CipherThrowaway 3y ago>Who says "business people" aren't capable of dealing with uncertainty? Not defending the parent comment because it's way off base. But come on. You've never seen non-development stakeholders struggle to accept devs communicating uncertainty?
- mmcnl 3y agoIt totally depends on how you communicate the uncertainty.
- GoToRO 3y ago>Who says "business people" aren't capable of dealing with uncertainty? Well not me if you read my comment. Also given that you don't know me but you immediately made a personal attack based on your own misunderstanding... you kind of proved yourself wrong. That's why people don't talk to you.
- throwaway98797 3y agoi envy you that you managed to live your life with this kind of belief that’s like a sales guy closing a deal… you did one piece of the puzzle and dealt with one type of headache you clearly have no clue what founders actually do

- bdcravens 3y agoThe word you're looking for is stakeholder, not founder. Nonetheless, do you believe the opposite is true? If a developer doesn't feel like they are adopting the perspective of the business, are they a disposable resource?
- GoToRO 3y agoYou don't have to ask me, the latest layoffs prove that they are disposable even if the company has record profits.
- paulddraper 3y agoA founder is someone who starts a business. It's not whatever you mentioned here.
