This article discusses a critical soft skill in software engineering: knowing when to accept a technical decision you disagree with. It provides a framework for deciding whether to continue challenging a choice (e.g., if it poses significant risks) or to fully commit to supporting the team's chosen direction, emphasizing collaboration and practical implementation over being right.
