I’m always hesitant to listen to the line coders on projects because they’re getting a heavy dose of the internal hype every day.

I’d love for this to blow past cursor. Will definitely tune in to see it.

I'm senior enough that I get to frequently see the gap between what my dev team thinks of our work and what actual customers think.

As a result, I no longer care at all what developers (including myself on my own projects) think about the quality of the thing they've built.

  • These do not need to be mutually exclusive. Define the quality of the software in terms of customer experience and give developers ownership to improve those markers. You can think service level objectives.

    In many cases, this means pushing for more stable deployments which requires other quality improvements.
