I think its important to admit we all do this in various ways.
Consider one of the top threads today [1] and the vitriol in the comments almost as if Satya Nadella had personally schemed such a predatory Minesweeper game.
The truth is likely more nuanced, that a disparate part of the Org chart, or even a contractor or partner, was incentivized to build a shit game within their own walled garden, and nobody else at Microsoft are aware or care to look at it.
This nuance is important because if you actually want to fix the problem you often need to understand its origin and deconstruct it - likely by setting better organizational guidelines and re-evaluating the incentives that encouraged it in the first place.

Yes the vitriol is deserved, but if your goal is to actually-fix-the-problem you need to deconstruct how the bad thing occurred
- wonderwonder 2y agoabsolutely. Look at politics today. For so many of us, voting for the other side means you are a terrible, stupid person. If everyone is right, we are all terrible, stupid people :) Go to any Reddit political thread to see it in real time. I admit to doing it myself in the past (in real life, not Reddit). I have tried to move past it but still find myself falling into that trap. I have lately tried to approach issues from an assumption that both sides are probably right, they are just focused on different aspects of the same issue. Similar to the elephant and blind men analogy. In our case though the blind men are very aggressive. I'd give a political example but don't want to deal with the downvotes :)
