Using it gives it legitimacy.

I’m going to retire at 40, I think I’ll keep going instead of listening to you.

The problem with that is it assumes every idea or opinion is of equal value and that every idea or opinion deserves equal time.

They just don’t. I don’t need give you a platform, weigh the pros and cons, and listen to you extol the virtues of you shitting in my soup. It is not on equal footing to the idea of not shitting in my soup.

Likewise, I don’t need to listen to the pros and cons of a flavor of linux backed by technocrats in bed with a body politic that would cause any founding father to eat his own beard in rage.

I love my job, even when I have to deal with nonsense like that and I’m compensated very well to be on call 24/7.

It can but I’m not looking to make things even more complicated. We have enough unexplained non-sense in the project as is, having to link it correctly is just endless pain that I don’t want to deal with.

I’ve completely banned any code that can’t be explained. I’ve had my CTO send me code at 3 AM to implement and when I ask him what I’m looking at he just says it doesn’t need review, just push it.

Uhh, no sir, I’m not doing shit because you’ve handed me GCC and we’re MSVC.

After I bitched endlessly to the CEO about that he said I have final say on what goes into the project.
