But it is written there, and GP was quite specific:
>the same kind of engineer, who throughout my career have constantly bitched and moaned about team meetings, agile ceremonies, issue trackers, backlogs, slack, emails, design reviews, and anything else that disrupted the hours of coding "flow state" they claimed as their most essential and sacred activity
Seems pretty clear to me.
- robertlagrant 6mo agoI doubt the GP has gone back through their career and checked on each person who thought there were too many meetings have now all made the switched they're being accused of, though.
- moralestapia 6mo agoWhy does that matter?

- goatlover 6mo agoBecause a claim was made about a group of people.
- moralestapia 6mo agoExactly. Does it matter if one member of that class does not follow the trend?

- martin- 6mo agoNo, but no-one said that. It's far more likely that this "group" of people doesn't even exist, and it's yet another case of treating "strangers on the internet" or "other people" as one person and being upset when that "person" is being inconsistent.

Anyway, I'm stopping this now as it's not a constructive conversation anymore. Let's agree to disagree.
- biggoodwolf 5mo agoGroups exist
- robertlagrant 6mo agoMy point being that it's unlikely that it's that way round. It's more likely that there's no actual trend, and there are one or two that have done it and they've just extrapolated.
