Trust is essential and I wrote about it before but left it out in this post. If the involved parties trust each other, they can accomplish great goals together.

Trust is essential and I wrote about it before but left it out in this post. If the involved parties trust each other, they can accomplish great goals together. However, if you want to change a system or even build up trust, one can only start working at oneself. And that was my intention for the post, raising awareness that devs must change themselves and stop blaming other humans or even patterns for shit they (partly) created themselves. We can not change another person, we can only change us and maybe inspire others to join. Same is with trust. People do only trust you if there is a good reason for it. And you have to build that reason up over time. For example, if I can't hold my ground with given estimates, how can I expect that the other person trusts me (in that point)? Those sum up. In the end, often biz does not trust devs and vice versa. But I can't change biz nor the other devs, only myself.
