No. Keep in mind that: - I didn't step in between engineers and the company. I am an engineer. - I didn't step in between my team and the decision makers. It wasn't me who "invented" the requirements, nor it was me who said the projects were complete. - It was the only time in the last few years where I could actually follow the advice in this article and ship things people need. Because I could TALK with people. - My entire team got salary increases all across the board. - Everyone has an ego, and everyone has a personality. But nobody in a team should get to put "more" of their personality over the others. We had brand guidelines and accessibility requirements, but other than that we decided things together.
