Key insight. It’s always people first, code is a far distant second. Love Kent Beck’s series on this, so insightful https://medium.com/@kentbeck_7670/software-design-is-human-relationships-part-3-of-3-changers-changers-20eeac7846e0 https://medium.com/@kentbeck_7670/software-design-is-human-r...
Great read, Heap team! Thanks for sharing :-D

I assume developers did not have much of a choice, either accept it or leave. You can try to brainwash them by impose your subjective point of view in a friendly way, but in the end it's all about power, that's the untold story.
