You need to exercise your god given right to mog goons below you.
Show everyone that system (that you’ve created) is shit and when some lowly SE thinks he’s above them all, you publicly flay him and make example for all that you’re the god emperor.
God forbid you'd actually have to do any real work when there's so many design, retro, and daily sync meetings to attend and so many jira issues to groom.
Only indirectly (through management) and still having control is exactly my point. Obviously if you need to do that over and over there’re some other actions need to be taken
Ive worked on both ends of the spectrum and id prefer too much process to too little
With too little process, people release bugs that I then have to scramble to fix. The CEO who pushed to skip QA and unit testing and everything in the name of release never has to deal with the consequences of their impatience
That same CEO would likely also push to have all of the things including no bugs, then complain people aren't productive enough when arbitrary and unrealistic deadlines aren't met.
Source: my personal experience. Very few of the managers who can code that I've worked with were better than any of the ones who couldn't, and those who did actively code while managing were universally worse.
