I'm still pretty junior, but this resonates so much. The number of meetings we need just to add a simple feature is wild. Meanwhile I could've shipped it in 20 minutes if I just got clear requirements upfront. We spend more time debating "best practices" and asking "what do you all think?" than actually writing code. Sometimes you just need someone to say "use Postgres, deploy to this server, here are the specs" and let devs actually build.
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.
