Does anyone grow up anymore? Or is it just high school until you retire?
Having dealt with "grown-ups" in several PTAs, they never grow up. It's like middle school until you die.
Excellent article! The utter thoughtlessness verges on malice (given the tech world's supposed ability to find knowledge on the net). I've often had to intervene whenever some manager microaggressed people into his infantilizing vision of "team building", with the tacit approval of devs who lap it up.
Same goes with those who refuse endorsing the product/company. Because there's usually no way they want an employee actually giving a self-critical appraisal of the product/company.
