Yeah, I'm saying professional communication isn't the place for Marvel references, and that those who choose to include references to those movies in their professional communications are revealing something about their media tastes.

If I'm at a Michelin star restaurant I don't want to be served a ballpark hotdog.

The people shaping the future have no taste.

Even within the US, employment contracts with the same organisation may contain different wording depending on the state in which the employment is occurring.

Unashamedly, I would, but this is a false dilemma. We can have ten beautiful and useful things.

The thing that drives the camp 2 folk crazy is that often it would have taken no extra effort (or perhaps even less effort overall) to make a good version of the thing but the people who made thing simply couldn't be bothered.

The attitude you're describing here has led directly to our world being full of profoundly disappointing objects that proliferate because they meet a minimum bar of usefulness.

People don't like the minimum bar. They'll take it if it's the only thing on offer, but they like better things.

It seems to do a lot of things, but most of what people think it does is pareidolia.

And there are channels that post irregularly, with long form videos, that consistently get millions of views.

It has a major practical problem:

> The team does not say how long it will take. Instead, they say what they think they can deliver in the time allotted.

If the team doesn't think they can deliver something that the business feels is non-negotiable, the two are at an impasse. The methodology gives no way to resolve this impasse.

And this problem is exacerbated because the business will frequently be wrong about what they want and when they want it by, and the team will frequently be wrong about what's achievable by the given date. And both parties know this, and it starts to affect how they interact with one another when discussing dates and deliverables.

And to make things even more confusing there's often some amount of unacknowledged deception. Sometimes when the date arrives everyone collectively just pretends that the thing has been delivered in full. Because it doesn't actually matter whether it has.

This weird notion that the purpose of the thing is the thing itself, not what people get out of the thing. Tracks completely that a person who thinks their number of commits and think that shows how productive they are (while acknowledging that it's a poor metric and just shrugging).

You can't build a stable, prosperous country with remnants of a former regime periodically showing up at people's doors holding guns and telling them that they're now part of a resistance movement.
