This dude is extremely persistent about having irrelevant things his way, and when he doesn’t get it, he acts as if it were a personal attack. Do you guys have any argument or method to deal with this kind of people?
I used to say “whatever” and let him have things his way, but as I got more experienced I started to listen more to his arguments and basically respond “this makes no sense” (not with those exact words, of course).
@testeronious @cs_career_questions Imagine somebody in a non-tech role. What could you do if someone argued 45 minutes about which typeface to use for a financial report? There’s a job exclusively for dealing with this type of issue, called “management”. There doesn’t need to be a human manager involved for there to be mismanagement (been there myself!). For me, I found if you can get somebody - really, anybody - to do some management it helps a lot. Even just temporarily.
