about : being a lead developper
There's definely something wrong about advertising themselves as "lead" developer
Thing is .. normally this prefix is prepended to the guy in a team who does master most of the required skills ..
But in practise .. it's more soviet system related, the guy who is the most appreciated by the upper guy in the Kremlin gets this title then ..
He'll spent all his time blaming other developpers for not implementing what he calls "his best practises"
- he'll spend hours on reducing what he calls "technical debt" but will commit uncomplete, deprecated and crashing code..
So I abandonned this adjective, regarding what others people do when they put this medal on theirs chest and tell others there's no alternative to what they've decided ..
Being lead developer in a team with 3 trainee is easy, being lead developer in a team of 20 skilled veteran persons is harder then .. So there's a huge < Difference > being really " Lead " , the one that moves things forward and makes sure the rest of the team stays on the train, and the north corean leader who don't care if 50% of his comrades falls off the train due to intese centrifuging
