> Pianists, orators and athletes all have coaches. Note that these are all, as we say in the software business, "individual contributors". And the new accepted wisdom is that there can be no truly outstanding individual contributors. "10x developers" or whatever you might call them, cannot possibly exist, only people who "enable" teams can have any kind of significant impact. And so it makes no sense to develop or coach extraordinary abilities in individual contributors. Why this is being accepted despite the clear, overwhelming and long-standing evidence both from within the field and outside it, is beyond me.
