> people don't want to work with people who focus on the negative

This is true. And yet, those who focus on the negative are the ones who are responsible for the most significant improvements because of their lack of complacency. But in the context of corporate software engineering, who cares about significant improvements? Not me!

I would counter that those that make the most significant improvements can see the gaps, but focus on, and communicate effectively, the opportunity rather than being complainer. I think we will all agree the workplace is as much politics as it is technical prowess
