where did developer heroism go?lesley cordero's presentation at last week's summit really hit a nerve.
she talked about how platform eng'g isn't just abt code, it's 'bout finding that balance between making dev lives easier and keeping systems reliable. it ain't easy to swing the pendulum back from reactive firefighting, she said.
cordero laid out this leadership framework for moving away from solo savior mode. instead of relying on a few tech wizards doing all, it's 'bout building teams that can take proactive steps towards sustainability and growth. we need more stewardship than superstardom,' shes argued.
i'm torn - is giving up the spotlight to team effort really better? or do we risk losing our ace coders?
anyone out there been in a similar situation, switched gears like cordero suggested?
got any tips for navigating this transition from solo heroism ➡️ proactive stewardship ⬆
