You may want to watch a number of Benjamin Zander's YouTube videos and revise your statement.
I share your frustration on feature pressure with no official room for practice and refactoring however the metaphor about the role of a conductor is completely off. A conductor knows and understands music, deeply, a d they connect the dots and coordinate the orchestra and zoom into lots of little details while improving the big picture.
- mkl95 5y agoThe conductor in my comment is a project / engineering manager and is meant to show how bad OP's analogy is.
- froh 5y agoThe article is talking about deliberate practice at an individual level. No conductor, no orchestra, no collaboration. I agree there are incompetent men-in-the-middle managers who make things worse. It didn't occur to me to think about that in the context if the article, plus, I've had the joy if working with excellent project managers, too. So the bad conductor ex machina didn't click with me.
- valbaca 5y agoYou're describing a good conductor/manager. Everyone knows a conductor's role is vital. What mkl95 was talking about is the manager/conductor we actually get.
