I think this depends on the crowd. Unfortunately, the intelligent crowd and the crowd with money and power is not exactly the same. Though hopefully there is overlap.

I think this points to a large problem in our society is how we train and pick our managers. Oh wait we don’t. They pick us.
Nah, she just wants to reply some snarky comments that don’t really inform people other than letting them know she thinks they are wrong, and that’s she thinks she’s some kind of authority on the matter.
People who appear intelligent to the average person, are either slightly more intelligent than their audience, or charismatic.
Really smart people can be hard to follow unless they put efforts in communication skills or are charismatic (but that might be the same thing?)

Those are really stupid managers.
If you don’t have docs it’s a tough competition between having your more knowledgeable devs re-explaining what they know X times to X new hires, or letting new devs figure it out on their own which is both costly in terms of their time and more importantly, risky as hell.
Bad managers love risk though. Since it usually is a choice between speed now and risk later, it only blows up in your face later, and quite spectacularly, and everyone looks like heroes while they are putting fires out on overtime.
That said good managers probably don’t tolerate that shit from bad managers under them and can sniff out a firefighter culture pretty quick.
I guess what I meant to say was, managers that value doc do exist. If they really do, they’ll let you know.
That is different than for layoffs, which generally is less about rooting out toxic people and more about lowering costs. And people know it usually.
That said, anyone causing trouble for management or viewed as not pulling their weight will be the first on the list since management won’t have to justify firing them.
Expect this from corporate and political types alike.
Professionals should care about their client’s privacy though. That shouldn’t be a debate.
Except that instead of an authoritarian government using it to totally control the learned populace, they are showing you ads.
We’ve still got a way to go before 1984. If it did happen, you wouldn’t be able to discuss it.
We need a new paradigm for social media. And no, I’m not satisfied with Lemmy either (privacy issues).
