Ask HN: How do you end a non-winning argument in your PR professionally? Getting in a pointless PR argument is one of the soul crushing reality developers face everyday. How do you say "There's no point of dragging a non-winnable argument with you, so if you want this feature to be approved this afternoon, I'll revert back my changes so that you can stop bitching on this issue already!"? |
It's a job, have discussions, not arguments. Chances are whatever you're arguing about now won't matter in 6 months. And if it does come back in a bad way you have public records clearing you off.

Happened to me a few times in my previous company, moving to a new job with less man childs and power maniacs fixed everything. It's not an issue a PR issue, it's a people issue.

Settling on specs before implementing things help with that, it makes arguing much easier when you haven't already built a solution.
