My interpretation of the hero is slightly different, nonetheless, shameless plug:
"Hero engineers can be deadly to team culture, it's time to retire those capes."

Same for another submission against 10x engineers that is currently on the front page. 10 years ago hackers just had to fight the machine. Now they have to refute propaganda on a daily basis as well.
- ochronus 5y agoWe all have our own experiences, I guess. All I write about is mine and of people I talk to. I wonder what you think pays my salary. I wonder what propaganda you mean.

And the synthesis: the right team culture allows a diversity of engineers, including ‘hero engineers’, to flourish and effectively contribute together; time to adapt your culture to your team.
