That's a fantastic point. Thanks for raising this. I completely agree with you too - it's important to remember that everyone is an individual. It's often easy to forget when you're sat behind a keyboard but people have different backgrounds and different experiences. As a result, they think and work differently.

Just like you said, true leadership is about recognising those differences, learning what works for each person, and allowing them to bring their own brilliance to the table.

And arguably, it's one of the hardest things about leadership – especially when you're leading teams of very savvy and opinionated developers.

Again, great article and discussion!
