> They want to avoid development as much as they can.

One of my favorite .sigs was:

    I hate code, and want as little of it as possible in my software.

I don't remember where I saw it, but it was a while ago. It's possible the author has an HN account.

One of the things that happens to "avoiders," is that they get attacked for being "negative." It can get career-ending, when the management chain is the "Move fast and break things" type.

I just stopped offering suggestions, after encountering that crap a few times, and learned to just quietly make preparations for when the wheels fall off.

I have spent my entire adult life, shipping, and shipping means lots of "not-shiny," boring stuff. But it gets onto shelves, and into end-users' hands. I was originally trained in hardware development, where mistakes can't be fixed with an OTA update. It taught me to "play the tape through," and make sure that I do a good job on every part of the project; which includes a lot of anticipating problems, and designing mitigations and prevention.
