> I think a lot of programmer arguments bottom out in a cultural clash between different kinds of engineers True. Also it should be the managements'/team leads' role to act as a midiators. It's a waste of time to constantly argue over what is "right" when all proposed solutions are functional. Should we spend more time flushing out the unknowns? Should we launch ASAP and interate fast? Should we automate the process? Do we have data to back our assumptions? The "culture fit" is not superficial and I've always been advocate of fire fast if one is culturally unfit because it slows down everyone

You are talking about a third dimension that I thought of immediately upon reading this, which is risk aversion, mentioned long ago in https://gist.github.com/cornchz/3313150 https://gist.github.com/cornchz/3313150 (the original is no longer accessible, thanks Google+) I'm just trying to imagine the different traits for liberal vs conservative grifters (thought leader vomit vs machiavellian connivance), believers (thought leader vomit vs constant market research), grinders (ship lots of code vs write lots of tests) and coasters (shitpost all day on random slack channels vs do the bare minimum to appear to be working)
