Especially true in enterprise sales. If your buyer and/or user believes that the end goal of the purchase is to replace them, then you're going to have a very hard time selling.

The comments. My god. Few better signals of incompetence in an engineer than optimising for complexity on the altar of technical scalability.

I will scream this from rooftops if I have to. If you introduce an additional database in to your environment to support one extra data format in the name of technical purity you are not a competent engineer. JSON in Postgres is absolutely fine for 99.99% of use cases.

There is an inverse correlation between your usefulness and the number of regular meetings in your calendar. You can drag my cold, dead body off this hill.

Adding to this - the amount of shit that Python lets AI engineers get away with is something we’ll never be able to forgive it for.

If you celebrate the murder of another person because that person had different political opinions to your own, you are, and I cannot stress this enough, a vile piece of shit. #CharlieKirk

I don’t see how keeping Zach Merrett is the “win” for Essendon it’s being marketed as. Now we’ve got a burned out, disgruntled (surely to be) former captain running around in our midfield while trying to rebuild with a very young list. Trade-table win, team loss. #AFL

Don’t assert how things should work when you clearly don’t understand how those things do work. Makes you look like a moron.

The irony of using your H1 screen real estate to slag off a famously well designed competitor instead of communicating what you actually do.

It is genuinely mind-boggling how few of the loudest voices on a wealth tax don't have even the most basic understanding of the economic impact of taxing unrealised gains. You don't need to be an economist to understand this, just 45 seconds of thought will do.

The reason this debate is so insane is because support for a wealth tax can come from only one of two positions: 1) You do not understand the absolute basics of how the world, economics or money works 2) You do understand, and are a compulsive liar It really is that simple.
