This is so important, but just isn’t heeded.
I work with some smart people, but they tend to defend choices by saying “It’s pretty straightforward” and “This is the way we’ve historically done this”.
I’ve gotten to the point where I don’t feel that I have the energy to try to debate, because it’s just like beating a ball against a brick wall. I used to rationalize it as “This will be a learning experience for them”, but no, they haven’t learned.
