>Those running the guild are probably not the best at a craft, just best at politicking and with the most vested interest. Those that would run a guild 900 years ago and VPs and CSuites today. This so much, I often see people believe that if things were more organized the best developers would rise to the top, but the fact of the matter is the best developers don't like meetings and positions and what not they like developing. Often times the people that are most eager to tell people how to do their job and run their workflow are those least capable of doing it themselves and as such why they chose a position on telling others what to do rather than doing it themselves, a la the Dilbert Principle. But that's just my 2 cents maybe I am way off, but it seems to me the people most interested in setting up more structure and organization to "empower" developers are those who I least want to represent me.
