Doesnโt the head of the development organization just need to be good at development? ๐คทโโ๏ธ

There are many cases where companies that focus only on business results end up with technical debt and blame engineers. There is a tendency overseas to focus only on technology and focus on technical elements rather than improving actual business value, and this is called Resume-Driven Development (RDD).
Rรฉsumรฉ-Driven Development (RDD), a phenomenon describing the overemphasis of trending technologies in both job offerings and resumes as an interaction between employers and applicants. โ Simply put, it's a story about writing about the latest technology in a job posting and then the pioneers of the latest technology gather together to build a castle in the air...
Short-term gains and long-term product failure risks from RDD. But it's cool. And there's a lot to talk about.
The larger and more stable the company, the more likely it is that there will be a lack of communication between the middle managers and the working staff.
Typical examples include the use of inefficient indicators such as LOCs, PR counts, and number of tickets.
Generating more tickets than necessary, promoting pointless PR cycles, and arguing about optimizations outside of core business logic.
If this is a case that actually happened...
The current state of things like service-oriented architecture (SoA: PostgreSQL, Django) and GraphQL
Microservices, high heterogeneity of JS frontend frameworks, and waste of time and money (Next.js after all?)
The need for organizational structures and policies that allow developers to focus on valuable business logic without incurring technical debt is necessary, but itโs almost like putting a bell on a catโs neck. There is also a recognition that the problem is that structures and policies lead developers to adopt complex technologies. The idea that CTOs should have business expertise as well as simple technical expertise.
Finding a balanced approach between technology and business is essential for sustainable growth and innovation of companies. Also, discussions in various communities are needed on specific measures to solve these problems. What if we have an in-depth discussion on how focusing on business logic can be in harmony with technological innovation? The delusion. Of course, there is no right answer.
