I struggle to make my mum take my advice about subjects of my field of expertise for which I had spent 5 cruel years at Uni. So I am at peace now not being able to make my point across the internet.

Oh that's a classic with people you're close to
Complain about issue X that you know how to solve
Hear you tell them how to solve it
Doubt
Don't listen to you but ask someone you know for their opinion which is the same as yours
Never say they're sorry for doubting you
Sometimes people do but it mostly happens when it is a topic that they've tethered to their identity.
That's totally fair.
I taught a seminar in the nature of identity last month. Great fun.
Only people I deal with daily at work, everyone else no. I am constantly getting second-guessed, made to make changes, and not listened to by the middlemen between me and the actual users.
Then of course it becomes a disaster that I have to fix.
Sounds like your doing development work in a “agile/scrum” team, correct?
No sorry. I design the controls for big physical stuff.
I just get ignored at work. Then something gets called out by a customer and it's a fucking issue.
I've worked in a bunch of environments and the most common thing I encounter are people stuck in the old way of doing things. Such as using WINS because they firmly believe if nothing bad has happened since they set it up, nothing could happen.
As someone actually trained to perform genetic therapy, it was incredible how many people wanted to correct me about my safety concerns regarding the covid shot.
I'm impressed by your bravery in telling people that one, given the variety and origins of the "facts" on that topic! 😲
