Reject “better”
The word “better” is meaningless.
Don’t accept it from your clients and don’t accept it from yourself.
Why?
Because better for Alice is not the same thing as better for Bob.
Get more specific.
- Better in what way?
- Better for whom?
- Better in what circumstances?
Everything has trade offs.
Nothing is universally "better" across all contexts for all people.
Yours,
