The ”game” of software development is rather ”won” by understanding the surrounding business and delivering on those goals rather than any, by software developers made up, “goals” about “standards”, “unit testing” or “SOLID design patterns”.
The game is also about good co-operation, helping colleagues succeed without imposing dogmatic requirements, and making friends with influential people connected to the software development team.
This is rather an article about loosing the “game”.
