I find both of these to be a little counter-productive. As it is, the tone of both of these posts just serves to alienate people from one another and to harden the lines in the sand by straight-up dropping anti-tank fortifications on them. My answer to the original post would be this: "" Some of the problems you are seeing sound fascinating and i have never ever seen them in any team i worked with. I would love to hear more about them. Some of the other problems you mentioned I have seen crop up, usually only when there has been a disconnect in communication between developers and managers. This is an opportunity for both of us to learn some things, if we engaged in a dialogue on the matter. You have chosen to post on two platforms where no useful manner of dialogue is offered, so it would need to happen elsewhere. If you're up for it, what would your preferred platform be? ""
