The wolf and Rands are next level.

Good work does speak for itself. The work speaks directly to other like minded engineers who "get it" and spread the word.
Nobody in authority needs to do any selling or mandating for the kind of work and the kind of person Rands is talking about here.
- class3shock 9mo agoHave you never seen a good project or idea, that every engineer who saw it thought was awesome, die because it wasn't sold well to authority? Authority may not have to sell or mandate for that person to get their work done but supporting good ideas and effective people is what authority should be doing.
- MrDarcy 9mo agoNo I haven’t. I’ve also deliberately avoided the types of places where that happens throughout my entire career. Those types of ideas and projects have no need for the approval of authority. They are their own authority. If a person in authority ends such a project or idea then the engineering culture at that organization is so completely broken the best path is to leave.
