Incident responders trying to play hero are like the firefighters who become arsonists for the adrenaline rush. It’s easy but so toxic to reward solo heroics
Replying to @Geek_Manager
Advice to make incidents better learning: - declare lots of incidents (practice before truly bad happens!) - encourage everyone to participate - use great incident debriefs in onboarding - show your working - watch out for anyone playing hero #LeadDevLondon @paprikati_eng

'Even if you can pull rank as a staff engineer, you shouldn’t. Your influence comes from building trust and camaraderie. Forcing teams to do something your way because of your seniority destroys everything you're working towards.' @jeffpsherman bit.ly/3PoZEAM

After my talk at QCon on the StaffPlus track a couple of weeks ago, several people came to tell me about their experiences and realising they were doing the role. Lots seems to struggle with balance and being hands on. This post is for you: leaddev.com/staffplus/code-o…
