It's so simple, why didn't this entire company full of experienced specialists just do the random idea I just came up with without thinking about it at all?


Somebody once said "the H in HN stands for hubris" and I often find it painfully accurate.


It's almost as simple as crapping on an idea without saying why the idea is a bad one, which I personally find to be a much worse failure and an indicator of someone who likes to tear down without making suggestions.


I don't have enough information to make suggestions. Sometimes it's okay to not have an opinion on something, especially when you have no relationship with the company and have no idea what the reality of the situation is.
