Gifted people tend to question that. I certainly do. Does anyone else here?


No, the issue is that processes are determined as a best guess based on experience and history and other factors. And they are determined by someone other than you. As long as a process is not unethical, illegal, etc, when you sign onto the job, you sign on to the processes they give you. Even if it makes your contribution slower, less efficient, more costly, more apt to break, etc. It's the company's decision. Always good to point out glaring issues in the interest of the business/company, but at the level of the individual, not so much.
