Ask HN: How to Deal with Disagreements?

1. Most disagreements have no real impact on my life. So I often give up and am satisfied getting to think "I told you so" if it goes wrong or I learn something new if I was wrong. For the overwhelming majority of cases, I find it not worth to press 90% of disagreements.

2. Radical Candor is the book I learned the most from for the remaining 10%.

A software debate heuristic I use is “is it easy to change later”. If it is, then most likely it ain’t worth arguing about too much. Argue about the things that relate to strategy.

I agree with #1. If I won't really by impacted then I'm not going to bother arguing that much.
