Developer Tea

In today’s episode, we discuss when opinions can be helpful, and when they can be harmful. Mentioned in today's episode When opinions are a good thing: When the evidence for a given topic is inaccessible or doesn't exist When the person with the opinion has significant experiential knowledge When the subject of the work is primarily representative of a person's opinion or expression When are opinions a bad thing? When an opinion is positioned as an objective truth. When the opinion of an individual devalues any other individual's perspective without objective reasoning When opinion is used as a substitute for research.
