Most software developers are optimists. Painful experience teaches us to temper our optimism, but without specific experience we tend toward optimism. Natural pessimists on development teams are often unpopular, even if they are consistently right. Few people will risk this reputation and take a stand against the majority without a very solid case. Most of us have had the “This makes me uncomfortable, but I can’t explain why” feeling, but sharing it rarely wins any arguments.
