No heroes needed

Read Original

This article critiques the 'hero' culture in software engineering and IT teams, where individuals single-handedly fix systemic issues. It explains why this behavior is detrimental to the individual, the team, and system health, leading to burnout and stalled improvements. Instead, it promotes 'radical interdependence' and collaborative leadership, suggesting teams should sometimes let things fail to expose and fix underlying problems.
