Have you ever had someone get mad at you for asking why you shouldn't do something? (lemmings.world)

A specific example from me would be implementing LLM AI into my code (genetically) and without more details than that I'll get people demanding that I don't do that and giving suggestions for what I should do.

Suggestions are cool, but I'm gonna ask why I should not put LLM in my code in a generic sense just to have my question ignored or have lies and insults hurled my way

It's cool if you want to answer that question, I'm just curious about other people's similar story about receiving resistance to follow up questions if you just have to say those people aren't worth it or you feel like you missed something you shouldn't have in those situations.

Yup, I work as a shipwright welder and have had to refuse to complete assigned tasks. When I'm tasked with welding two large steel plates together, end to end, they both need to be double beveled. If they're not, then all I can do is make thin surface welds which are easily broken.

That's dangerous as these steel plates are an inch and a half thick and weigh a lot. Their weight alone will break surface welds. So I refuse to do the job. They ask why I refuse and I tell them about the lack of double bevel.

I'm even willing to break out the oxy/acetalyne torch and cut the bevels myself, but they refuse. They're in a hurry, they don't have time to do things correctly or safely, and they don't care about making it someone elses problem. That's the sort of shit that's likely to cause serious injury or death.
