Super interesting actionable read about spotting, and more interestingly *fixing*, issues you'll 100% definitely face one day with your engineering team. There's lots in here that unfortunately, as an engineering leader, I'm guilty of doing myself (to my team: I'm sorry). Amazing quality as always from GitPrime. 👏

Now that you've worked with so many teams, which of the 20 patterns here do you think is the most damaging to smaller teams (< 10 engineers)? And do you think it changes as you scale?

@jakeapeters Heroing. Without a doubt. In a small company you're often just in survival mode so a diving catch is often what's needed, end of story. But it's important to keep in mind that most people are in startups you're closer to the metal in a startup. So when you "save" someone you may be unintentionally undermining the very reason they joined which is to grow as a developer. This can be a painful tradeoff. Not making the save may trigger real pain. But more often than not it's a pain people want to own. It's how we grow. So hero when you have to, but know that there's a personal expense you may not be pricing in when deciding is it worth it.

@johnwitchel Makes a ton of sense, and definitely one that I'm guilty of myself. I need to get better at knowing where to draw the line and think "actually, yeah, this'll be bad, but it's not bad enough to get involved and deprive the person of learning". Thanks for the insight!
