I suspect this usage is an awkward phrasing of “told him how to accomplish the result he wanted”; even though in common usage it implies a lack of overall competence, here I think it just implied a lack of a specific recipe/technique.


Doesn’t seem so, as GP specifically said this caused them to lose respect for their colleagues.


That’s a possible interpretation of their comment, but not the only interpretation and certainly not something they specifically said.

(Another interpretation is that the author previously held Ops in higher regard than SWE and that this event did not change that.)


I imagine if overzealous rule enforcement is the cause of respect that the OP would've always had more respect for Ops :D
