You are right but I also can understand his 'influential developer' negativity effect. In my place there's this one influential developer (the Team Lead) that can veto every decisions even though the others juniors/seniors under him already have consensus. He doesn't want the existing process to be altered. Now he's alone as everyone is leaving.

Had that happen, too. Had two tech leads over me who didn't want to learn anything new. One guy was in love with Apache Camel, the other, was just a J2EE guy from like the early 2000s. Frustrating.
