I&#x27;ve had your tech lead. They&#x27;re a weenie and nobody ever congeals around initiatives because they have endless meetings to debate everything all the time. Sometimes you just need to say, &quot;do it this way or find another job.&quot; I know that&#x27;s not a popular idea around the democratized millennial coddling of Silicon Valley, but honestly I&#x27;d rather have someone throw down the gavel than sit through another month of research findings meetings before we finally decide git is better than svn. Your person isn&#x27;t a lead, they&#x27;re a diplomat.
