I don't know about hate, but each man an island was the tone set by top owners and executives since 1999.

Dev is hard enough, but the demands of divisive process micromanagement just creates heroes and firefighters, and sets up org for continual failure.

While endless backlogs and mitigations documents processes, creative collaborative progress nosedives.

Majority of devs need facilitation though. No history of otherwise, but perhaps a silo issue.

Drop-ins can be natural, but not so much as upfront restrictions-planning outside teams.

I think you are saying you want the industry to be better. I support that. But until we get there, the need for people who can airdrop is going to be there. Sometimes you may be dealing with a fortune 50 like customer with lots of $$$ in play or a smaller customer who needs to get something running or they are in deep trouble of going under. It's not so much about looking inwards sometimes as it is about helping customers who depend on the crap that was built to get past the bugfest the industry seems comfortable selling all to often.
