Stood up to a boss who wanted us to fudge the dive logs

On a recent pipeline survey, my supervisor told us to mark a section as clear when we knew it needed more work. He said the client was pushing for a fast sign-off to meet a deadline. I called him out in front of the team, which caused a huge argument. Now things are tense, but I'd do it again because honest reporting keeps everyone safe down there. That kind of pressure should never win over good practice.

At our last meetup, we split on prompts based on real places versus made-up worlds. Can't decide which approach is better.

My buddy tried that 'lumber and nails' approach and quit after mapping three forests.

A disagreement with my co-founder over a new feature led to a real talk about our startup's vision. How do you handle those tough chats?

Yeah, it works as a forcing function. If a new feature doesn't line up with the core mission, you have clear blood in the water.
