@trochee@dair-community.social @afeinman@wandering.shop @jk@mastodon.social in fairness, the “talking down” just as often goes the other direction: engineers asking for evidence that a gold-plated “requirement” that will takes months to build will be a better user value than a simple one that would take weeks or days. The answer (or lack thereof) often boils down to the highest paid person in the room wanting a big bang project to his name. Engineers learn faster that such projects are exhausting and tend to fail.
