> Highly talented developers don't need this structure and process, Indeed. But in most real world cases, this is because they’ve internalized good process and shaken off the categorical constraints that more junior or less disciplined developers still need to rely on. While the archetype of the idiosyncratic graybeard poring out inscrutable, magical code has exemplars, it’s not the norm that many of us see when we look around. During periods where software engineering becomes more collaborative and corporatized (as we’re in now), it’s hard for these types to find a home. Yet there are hundreds of organizations stocked with many highly talented developers doing “good” work well.
