I think I might have said this verbatim before
That one feels too cruel. If you said that to some junior dev they’d likely do it… and probably in their free time.
That said with fellow senior devs if someone suggests something completely off the wall I will occasionally respond with, essentially, prove it first.
With a senior engineer it’s perfectly reasonable to just say “ok, implement it and let me know how it works.”
Like the whole point is that they should be relatively independent and capable of taking ideas from paper to product.
“It’s* better** to do things*** by this approach.”
Always throw a spanner in there with:
*: [citation needed]
**: According to who exactly?
***: Please specify exact use cases
It’s more Pythonic.
I was told to write my idea into an article to share internally with engineers. Then someone internally reached out to post it on our company tech blog. Then it got published on the tech blog. So I guess that’s something?
