Because the primitive and irrational need to hurry all the time for no reason is what takes 99% of the satisfaction of building software while making software worse.

- SpicyLemonZest 3y agoAgain, there are many important reasons - it sounds like you're just too isolated from this to understand the context you're missing. You should find one of your customer-facing coworkers and sit in on a call some time if you'd like to learn.

Everyone wants middle management and their endless excuses for not having hard skills gone. If you are micromanaging you don't understand software and don't understand management.
