From a girlfriend who was my intellectually superior (which I had a hard time dealing with) You are responsible for your actions - no one else. "But I did it because...". No. You chose to do it. You are responsible. Other people a

I don’t know Gilbert Ryle but I believe I understand the paper as intended. What do they realize then instead?

Can you elaborate on why you think the paper is flawed please?

“… rules are coordination mechanisms that carry the capacity to destroy value” Excellent phrasing :)

> This is an abstract response to a concrete demonstration of usefulness. Brilliantly articulated - thank you. I wonder if this is a generic pattern (like fallacies)?

It’s one guy. Making a useful tool. It even has an altruistic purpose. Shame on you for twisting a well intended effort into a negative statement that suits your narrow identity political world view.

How has it been corrupted?

Because the word "housewife" invokes a fuller mental image of what general boring conditions those two women might be living under?

From a manager point of view: In your shoes I would make a decision to either fix/improve the situation or leave immediately. If you decide for the former then make sure you have support from your management and own that decision. Be t

You're right - not the best analogy in this case. Not sure about the race car though. I will think about that. Analogies aside... Let's agree that estimation is possible to a certain degree. We know this and accept the inherent un

Complexity exists in interaction between parts - not necessarily the parts themselves. Breaking down a project do not take those interactions into account. Even if we were to try considering interactions we would fail. Like the weather, and

I make a distinction between physical violence and what you refer to as harm. I do not believe people must be protected from harm in that manner. Words can be hurtful but they do not directly kill of cause injury. Suppose this very discussi

You're conflating the right to express oneself with the right to act violently. Those two are not the same hence the same logic does not apply.

by fghfghfghfghfgh 5y ago
That's a very big "just". What good is an opinion if you cannot express it?

by fghfghfghfghfgh 5y ago
Hating someone is an opinion. It is not an act of violence. I disagree with both of those laws.

We are talking about freedom to speak - not freedom to kill.

by fghfghfghfghfgh 5y ago
Consequences and freedom are two separate things don't you think? If you openly state that you hate a certain group of people that will have consequences. I still support your freedom to to so.
20.
by fghfghfghfghfgh 5y ago
Freedom of speech is absolute. One cannot outlaw what one does not want to hear. If you want your freedom to speak you are required to let other people speak. It's really that simple. Hate does not go away by outlawing. It only makes m

I don't think it's an issue with my argument but I do think the difficulty of grasping the bigger picture is a major issue. It can be reluctance to understand why you're doing what you're doing. It can also be because no

Ha - yes, you're right it sounds like a tautology. I worded my answer to reflect the absolute statement of no manager is ever needed. "Shouldn't the creators and clients have a major, high impact role and the coordinators a s

My answer was intentionally phrased to mirror the absolutism of the GP. A large part of my time is spent explaining why certain process is in place or why we cannot get a license for this or that tool or why one needs to be considerate of t

Nah, we're not talking past each other but we likely come from wildly different backgrounds. To make a general statement saying managers are not needed is as silly as saying all developers are delusional

by fghfghfghfghfgh 5y ago
No, I've actually mostly worked in well balanced places. It is my experience that technology is the lesser issue and the one with the smallest impact. That's not to diminish the highly skilled developers - the work just have less

After 17 years of development and 8 years of management I've come to the conclusion that developers are delusional about the relative importance of their role. I shall be the first to admit that - I used to be one myself. Your run of t

I think your comment perfectly shows to which extreme it has become acceptable to criticize a group of people simply from their skin color

That's not the point. The point is the disingenuous, and sadly socially acceptable, argument that something is bad/wrong because it is made by men or white people
