The freedom to fail. When I compare software corporate leadership versus military leadership this is the thing that sticks out the most. In corporate software (at least in web dev) everyone is treated like a small child who needs their hands held and must be protected from themselves by a parent who pretends to care about their output. That is stupid. Look, the only purpose of software is automation. If you want to impose a bunch of safety and sanity checks stop the bike shedding insanity and instead automate the shit out of it. As someone who has written a test automation application for the browser it isn’t hard, and yet it’s treated as a separate speciality. When people are allowed to fail they are empowered to succeed.
