#5Thinking back to a failed role, many years ago - the articles first 'sanctions' list reads like a checklist of achievements for the situation that I blindly dug myself into while under the high stress of the time.
It took until quite a few years later to have a clearer perspective on it. Accordingly, with hindsight I wish I'd had the articles wisdom a couple of decades ago, as a preventative - though I partly wonder if I'd have had the brain structure to really take it in, back then.

And from the bullet points and the lack of a personal perspective.
I'm glad the poster at least admitted the AI contribution, though.
I use AI a lot myself for brainstorming and perspective and even advice. But I include in my prompt details about my particular situation and needs. The responses are worth much more to me than generic listicle slop.

#9Im skeptical that positive interaction between teams can exist, other than as positive interaction between their leads. It seems to me that risk/reward for an individual to blame things on a different team it too appealing to pass on.
Or maybe this is how my company has trained me to think. Everything always seems to be a different team's fault

I see “literally” in the same light.
