Some examples of diva bullshit from your developers:
- correctness as an assertion of dominance
- my religion is the one true religion (Python? You should use node for that. Node? You should use Scala for that.)
- insisting on technologies that ‘scale linearly’ when developing services that clearly will not serve more than 100,000 people and can probably comfortably be served from one computer.
- a coffee incantation that requires any of the following:
- a $300+ espresso machine
- an aeropress
- a scale
- temperature measurements
