Oh, but the dictator self-saboteurially railroads their ignorant bias without consideration and thereby wastes resources that could've been saved by asking questions and listening to experts.

An imperative and commanding tone works well [with LLMs], only when you actually know what you're doing.

I'm still pretty junior, but this resonates so much. The number of meetings we need just to add a simple feature is wild.

Sometimes you just need someone to say "use Postgres, deploy to this server, here are the specs" and let devs actually build.
