Forget the haters, this article rings true for me. I’ve been in the industry for fifteen years and am currently experiencing the same troubles that you’re having. It has nothing to do with attitude. I think whiteboarding and online collaborative coding works well for a certain type of engineer. For me, I personally like to meditate quietly for 5–10 minutes before trying to tackle an issue. I never just start typing or thinking out loud. It’s just very unnatural for me, and I think to many others.
