What are you even supposed to do in such situations?

It might be not possible to make them see things your way or vice versa.

You probably don’t want to get the person fired and going to look for a new place of employment just because of one or two difficult people doesn’t seem all that nice either.

You can get the management on your side (sometimes), but even then that won’t really change anything about similar future situations.

To me, it seems like there aren’t that many options, whenever it’s anything more abstract than being able to point to a sheet of test results and say “A is better than B, we are doing A”.

I’ve had fundamental disagreements with other people as well, nowadays I don’t really try to convince them of anything and try to limit how deep those discussions get because often they’re quite pointless, whenever they’re not purely data based. That doesn’t actually fix anything and the codebases do get less pleasant to work with at times for someone like me.
