I've often wondered about this myth that the tech-nerds can't articulate stuff properly. In my experience with my coworkers it's not really the case, we go out of our way to explain everything to various levels of detail depending on who's on the receiving end.

What happens more often than not is that the C-suites and their underling managers just don't give a shit. They've got their "grand plan" that works in their minds, and no amount of annoying devs that tell them that their fantasies can in fact, not, be made into reality can sway them otherwise. Doesn't matter how well you explain it, they want it done, so it'll get done, regardless of any other problems.

Hell, they perfectly understand what we're talking about most of the time, it's not like we're hitting them with obscure jargon known only to the highest caste of the nerds, it's really just that they don't care. I do get where they're coming from as well, as we can be extremely annoying oftentimes (at least, I know I can be extremely annoying), but the feeling is often mutual when I'm given a ticket I've argued vehemently against, more often than not with good reasoning.

I just wish more companies weren't being run by brainless, heartless MBA types and there was more of us engineers in charge, but c'est la vie.
