The resistance gets worse and worse and worse the closer we get to shipping. The one who overcome the resistance and change the status quo. e.g: http://www.jillgreenberg.com // this site photos are useful in presentations



Programmers feel best when they’re productive. Programmers dislike weak leadership that provides too little structure to prevent them from working at cross purposes and, in the end, causes them to spend more time fixing defects than creating new software. Good project leadership puts a focus on process that allows programmers to feel incredibly productive. Developers, their project, and their organization all reap the benefits.
