Yes I've definitely met the divas, and the worst of those are people who are just zealots and think that they are cleverer than everyone else, but are really just highly opionated - often about something that isn't end user focused.
I also hesitated to write my initial comment because I know the point you are making and agree with it. I've been a startup CTO since 2000 and have been successful and unsuccessful at building products. Because of my preferences and my style I'm better suited to directing smaller teams and to accommodate this I've usually created smaller Team sized independent squads - but that's just not an option for many businesses.

Makes perfect sense. And I'm glad that you decided to comment. It was a great discussion! 🙇
