Firefox just quantumed me, and they didn't ask first.

@literorrery @mawr engineer good, product manager out of touch? feature manager dismissive of edge-cases?

@kelseyhusky @mawr I think this is where I have to break voice and say that "engineer" is a term I use in a heavily jargoned way, likely unfairly, to indicate that the developer/designer/programmer has only gotten as far as whether something is possible without questioning whether it's desirable, beneficial, or well-considered. Folks who don't test failure paths. Folks who reject accessibility concerns. Folks who require firstname-lastname on forms that only need an identifier.

@literorrery @mawr @kelseyhusky This is why my opinion of the buni going into management has changed over the years from "dear gods, they're going to assimilate that poor buni and we're going to lose her" to "dear gods, if somebody has to be in that position, I'm so glad it's someone on our side who's gonna wreck some shop..." <3
