That's a great talk.  In fact all ThoughtWorks talks are great!!

@mannion1985

@DanteInExile

Thank you, Patrick. :)

@eddvdm

Great talk, unfortunately it's frustrating the amount of GOTO talks videos where edition keeps framing only the speaker while slides are very relevant.

@Mhejle

I really could not agree less, 

A developer that does not consider the greater perspective is a liability.
you do not introduce a new component without investigating whether or a competing component exists.

adding a layer of abstraction (TechLead) does not cause the underlaying code to be cleaner.

A team should be self organizing and self managing - appointing a tech lead works in opposition to this.

Instead - hire people that care about the product and codebase instead of just worrying about completing the next task.

You had me until "Strengthsfinder". Pseudo-science BS.  Ugh.

@papanino4415

Please stop saying "sort of" and "kind of". Developers don't "write code on their sort of computer". It's really distracting and annoying.
