<h1>It only takes one</h1>
<time>2018-08-27</time>
<article>
  <blockquote>
<p>There is some truth to this illustration of the polarization of feelings felt through coding. However, it is all too common for individuals to wholly identify with one or the other. On the one side we have our rock stars, our 10x developers and brogrammers. On the other we have people dogged by imposter syndrome. In reality, the two abstract states represent a continuous and exaggerated part of us all. Having said that, I believe that <em>everyone</em> is in the middle, but much closer to the second state than the first. All of us.</p>
<p>In my personal experience I have felt a strong feeling of camaraderie when I’m working with people who all humbly admit they don’t <em>really</em> know what they’re doing. This qualification is important - nobody is saying they are truly incompetent, just that there are distinct limits to their knowledge and understanding. There is the sense that we don’t have all the answers, but we will nonetheless figure it out together. It promotes a culture of learning and teamwork. When everyone makes themselves vulnerable in this way great things can happen. The problem is that it only takes one asshole to fuck all that up.</p>

</blockquote>
<p>Great article, this excerpt is just one point of a more profound reflexion on <em>being right</em> vs. <em>doing the right thing</em>.</p>
