What's it like to work at GitHub?
"Talented people with a lot of experience have strong opinions."<p>i hear this often.  and i've worked with some people like that, many of whom i admire (in some ways).<p>yet i am not at all opinionated (as far as i can tell).  when people ask me for advice, i often find it very hard to guide them because there are so many options, and what will work best seems to depend so much on non-technical factors.<p>and i am not sure what to do about this.  i have tried being more opinionated, and there are times when a decision affected my work and i have <i>fought</i> for what was right, because i am doing the work.  but often other people, opinionating, just seem like noise (worse, sometimes i suspect people confuse being opinionated with understanding something).<p>no real conclusion here, sorry.  sometimes i wonder if people are too opinionated; sometimes i wonder if i am not opinionated enough (or if i am not that talented - although i do take re-assurance from the d-k effect).  but that part of the post, and a related comment by the author here, disturbed me a little.  i am not sure a place full of opinionated people is that pleasant (or optimal).<p>i was wondering if this touches a chord with anyone else?
