The Anti-Values

Hindering Your Software Team's Progress

These are the traits that you can see at any nasty workplace you don't want to work in.

People take everything is something personal 🙅‍♂️🙅‍♀️💔👥🔍

Nasty people believe that issues at work solely arise from personal conflicts.

This behavior acts as a barrier to seamless communication and collaborative efforts, impeding our ability to tackle authentic work challenges head-on. By rejecting this pattern and embracing a more inclusive approach, we create an environment conducive to robust problem-solving and contribute to the cultivation of a thriving, productive workplace.

People look for someone to blame 🔎🙅‍♂️🙅‍♀️🎯

Nasty software engineers are always looking for someone to blame when something goes wrong.

This behavior spotlights a tendency among certain individuals in software development. When challenges arise, they habitually seek someone to blame instead of focusing on collaborative solutions. This can hinder teamwork and impact project outcomes. Explore this behavior's influence on software development dynamics and results.

People attack subjects without trying to study it first 🧐🔍🚫📚🎯

Unengaged engineers speak their mind about subjects they have no idea without giving any warning.

When engineers are disinterested or disconnected from a subject, they may still voice their opinions without having taken the time to properly educate themselves about the matter. This lack of engagement and preparation can lead to uninformed comments, inaccurate assessments, and potentially misguided decisions. It can also create confusion and undermine productive discussions within the team.

People take everything literal 🤷‍♂️💬🔤🙅‍♂️🙅‍♀️

Unengaged software developers do stuff without taking part on the business.

This lack of engagement with the business side of their work can lead to various challenges. When developers are unaware of the business context, they might miss opportunities to align their technical decisions with the organization's strategic objectives. This can result in solutions that are not optimized for the intended business outcomes, leading to inefficiencies, misaligned priorities, and suboptimal results.
