So "good" collaboration does work. It is just that the post is talking about things that are not really true collaboration and those should be avoided. Title is click bait but posthog is famous for these.
'Degradation' seems to carry most (all?) of the same meaning and doesn't have those downsides.
So while I didn’t say “I wish my phone was thinner”, I did say many times “this should weigh about half of what it actually weighs”.
You can't win architecture arguments.
I like the article but the people who need it won't understand it and the people who don't need it already know this. As we say, it's not a technical problem, it's always a people and culture problem. Architecture just follows people and culture. If you have Rob Pike and Google you'll get Go. You can't read some book and make Go. (whether you like it or not is a different question).
I feel this in my soul. But I'm starting to understand this and accept it. Acceptance seem to lessen my frustration on discussing with architects that seemingly always take the opposite stance to me. There is no right or wrong, just always different trade offs depending on what rule or constraint you are prioritizing in your mind.
But you do care. You care so much to project your appearance of being cool and that you don't even care that you go through extra trouble to keep it up, even though paradoxically it would be LESS effort to not do it.
