Software teams: A counter take on 'accountability' for teamwork ft. Allen Holub

Building products is so much fun—at the same time, it’s equally exhausting and challenging with so many peers to work with, the market needs to look into, and a lot of processes to go by. While frameworks and techniques can be compelling to share, they are hard to standardize for different software teams and their cultures. So what are some ways to navigate these complexities and build better software?

Allen Holub, an internationally recognized software architect and consultant, and I recently chatted about why he has a counter-intuitive take on 'accountability' - most often we are convinced about committing to something out of being accountable to that, but when it comes to shipping impactful software, Allen marks how people would rather do a great job when they love what they're working on and they enjoy the company of the people who motivate them further.
