I agree wholeheartedly. Knowledge, or even intelligence, shouldn't be the most highly valued skill in a team lead.
But there are many people extremely confident in their confirmation bias that seem to be unwilling to consider anything that might challenge their ideas. Our industry has a problem with celebrating the intelligent arsehole. Not only is humility not incentivized, it seems to be actively counterproductive.
I wonder how we can foster the kind of culture that values experience, encourages innovation, and is also able to get things done without chasing geese?
- _glass 3y agoI am also approaching my 40s, but really, it is true that when one ages, so many uncommon things failed spectacularly, after that, one assumes everything behaves like that. But I try to keep a fresh mind and kind of brainwash myself to think positively first. Played out very well until now. (Because a lot of young developers fresh out of uni are taking with them the conservatism of the professors or mediocre student teams.)
