why is everyone so up in arms that I added an optional tkinter UI to my standalone script
Why should I remove my tkinter UI
I made it because I like it and I want my dashboard to have little colors
literally what is your problem

STOP LINKING ME THE WIKIPEDIA ARTICLE ABOUT YAGNI I MADE IT BECAUSE I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE IT

WHY IS CITING THE DOCTRINE OF YAGNI SUPPOSED TO BE THE END ALL BE ALL OF THESE CONVERSATIONS AND WHY DO YOU KEEP MAKING IT INTO A CLICKABLE LINK TO THE WIKIPEDIA PAGE FOR IT

the issue I am constantly facing is that at my job instead of listening to my input as an equal member of the team, the response I get whenever I have any kind of pushback to a decision made by someone else is that they need to teach me in simple terms why I'm wrong instead of have a conversation about the pros and cons of my proposal. Their viewpoint isn't that I'm someone whose opinions are different from theirs, it's that I'm someone who just doesn't know enough about what I'm doing to have the right ones, and I simply need to be corrected.

Any further discussion I have past the initial correction is never treated as a rational discussion on why I would like something to be a certain way, but is treated as proof that I'm not understanding what I'm being taught.

like this is why I have to fight people for 6 hours a week

it's a fucking optional tkinter gui for an extremely simple script. This is not mission critical shit. I want the tkinter gui because I like color coding and I enjoy looking at it. This isn't going to become some balooning dev overhead cost trying to maintain this optional dependency on tkinter. We don't need to talk about KPIs about the fucking tkinter gui. It's a standalone python script. We both sound insane for even having this conversation but you sound even more insane because the post you're making arguing with me about it cites both a doctrow medium article and wikipedia
