This thread reminds me of two lessons that I'm thankful I've learned young:
1. Processes exist for a reason. They're often annoying and sometimes overkill and unnecessary, but they're often there as a result of a past problem.
2. The whole top thread about communicating and literally ignoring people reminds me of my roommate who bragged that he was a good leader, meanwhile telling me that he would simply ignore his teammates because they annoy him. This is why "geeks" get the stereotype that they can't interact with people and it's why programmers with business and communication skills are so valuable and sought after.
