There's More Than Code

This level of irony is simply incomprehensible to me. The picture is clear, the author of the post is an idiot.

Have you considered talking to Bob instead of wasting your time on whataboutisms? Because if Bob ignored an important talk in a meeting on the clock, chances are that Bob didn't even waste time reading your stupid blog post in his free time.

None of the teams I've been in ever had this problem and the reason is me, if they do, the reason is you. You don't even have to be the leader of your team, you're a team member and can talk to the leader about it. If you cannot, then let me tell you - Bob is the least of your problems.
