Hard to blame the engineer when the engineer gets fired for not implementing management's whims. As much as I'd like to hold people accountable and say they should just accept getting fired instead of compromising the ideals, the truth is I've got a family now and if they paid me enough I'd do the same.

Of course there are shitty engineers, but they aren't allowed to do anything without shitty management.

Found the project manager

Remind me who makes the final decisions in these scenarios. Also, how do boots taste?
