It takes #courage to dare to look stupid, or to express unpopular opinons.

The willingness to look stupid plays out daily across the world on the boundary between devs and managers. Between where #tech is created and where it should earn income for the whole group.
Of course the general sentiment on the tech side is that all managers are fools with their unrealistic #expectations and demands. And vice versa on the #manager side they think you can never trust a techie to build the right thing, because #devs live in their own world where everything is tech.
Those who have to navigate the boundary between these classes should face the willingness to look stupid to both sides and defend the most rational middle way of the road. I am talking about the poor Jen's in "The #IT Crowd".
