This is something that we talked about during our last podcast where we interviewed our CTO. He believes that a flat hierarchy in an organization is a way to solve for this. There are good and there are bad managers. An organization needs to compensate for this.

- skeeter2020 5y agoIME flat hierarchy == shadow hierarchy. You're still going to get one and I believe intentional > accidental, even when it comes to making mistakes.
- ramijames 5y agoThe thing is that a strict hierarchy is enforceable. A shadow hierarchy is one that can be circumvented if needed. If the organization encourages lower level devs to "skip" up hierarchy levels if needed then they do. If a bad manager doesn't like it, they can take it up with the dev but in that case the dev hasn't really done anything wrong at all. It's largely an issue of company culture.
