While I generally agree with the article I think a bit of nuance it could use is that sometimes not looping in other people, even if it causes problems now, can be the right move for your overall career growth. A key component of growth is being allowed to make your own mistakes. If you always let stronger engineers come in and handle the tough bits you might never obtain the sort of knowledge and experience that let you advance and frankly, your company doesn't want you learning those lessons on their dime if they can avoid it. Going off on your own can be one way to gain that experience even if it irks the people you work with.

If you cannot get your manager/boss/co-workers to buy into a method/strategy/path, you are setting yourself up for a harder path to success. It is better to try to get buy-in earlier than the completion of project/code/documentation.
