The Framing of the Developer
I&#x27;ve never been in a place where it was pretended that there is no person with authority to tell you what to do, whatever that person is called, and that person&#x27;s ass is the one that&#x27;s kicked in case things don&#x27;t work.<p>What this article describes is alien to me: an organization where devs are apparently autonomous, so they&#x27;re responsible for failures, but still need to go in the direction set by someone else. There are multiple problems with that system. From the outside you can ask without concerning yourself with priorities or tradeoffs. From the inside, different persons can push in different directions.
