| Realize your non-technical boss isn't some cartoonish, mustache-twirling villian with a fetish for poor technical solutions. He or she is picking them for a reason, possibly a misguided reason.
I believe Hanlon's Razor applies here:
| Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity.
- gknoy 14y agoAlso, it's probably better to think of one's boss's choices as due to ignorance rather than stupidity. The former is something you can help correct, and the latter is a poisonous (and usually incorrect) opinion which will often taint your feelings (and actions) towards them. edit: How do I do italicized/blockquoted text? I've seen it done, but haven't found docs on how.
- joshuacc 14y agoYou can add italics by putting asterisks around your words.
