Ever had a new person join your team and declare that the way things are done here is plain wrong and we should all do things the way their previous employer did?Don't be that person.

@wabbster @milcom Why not? Be appreciative of the perspectives they bring. If some process is demonstrably better, one could try..

@obscurosaur No problem with giving suggestions, but to blatantly say everything is wrong and needs to be built from ground up is an issue.It's not like those decisions were made in a vacuum, and there are factors that are vastly different in each org.Example, this new joined said "This specific password management system should be used, because the one in use has a clumsy UI is written in C!"Fact: The system he suggested failed our security audits.@wabbster

@milcom @wabbster Mm I understand. My point was to be receptive to suggestions, we of course need to weigh the suggestions on its pros and cons.

@obscurosaur I used to be very arrogant. I'd say your system is crap and shit like that. Until one day my boss came up to me and said adapt or fuck off. I had to learn the art of unlearning @milcom

@wabbster I think I'm still that kind of person. I do try to understand why it may have been done the way it was, but some times in just so godsmacked, I just blurry it out :0080: @obscurosaur @milcom

@wabbster I would probably make the change and then say this is how it might be done, so that I'm not seen as an armchair critic.@obscurosaur @milcom
