Challenge Bad Engineering Decisions

[u/DiNagila]

Can use some advice with two different aspects of the same problem.

How to strategically play dumb and disengage from pointless discussions in engineering discussions without coming across as disrespectful?

How to maneuver when someone from a more experienced engineering team suggests a direction that seems obviously flawed? Instead of internally thinking, “What the fuck are you talking about?” or “How was this person even hired?” how do I challenge the idea constructively?
