Comment on Things to say when you're losing a technical argument

are you losing because youre wrong or because someone wants to do something a different way and they have more buy in from the rest of the team?
If it’s the first thing just admit youre wrong and move on. If it’s the second thing either bring the data to show your way is better or just go with the other proposal. Having disagreements drag on for too long is going to make everybody unhappy.

Yea, a good developer, especially a senior developer, will fight like hell for the right answer… and if they realize their answer was wrong they should concede the point and maybe self-examine why they’d overlooked that possibility.
