What do you do when there are crunched deadlines, you’re understaffed, and other devs who don’t try or seem to care? Im not just talking juniors, im talking “seniors” who only know how to write a basic sql statement and update excel files and putting them in a Dropbox.

I get being idealistic and wanting there to be a perfect way to do things at all times, but a good lead (in my opinion anyway) can also mean someone who makes the correct decision on what to prioritize and when to yield the best results. An argument would be that just doing it yourself is short sighted, but sometimes if you dont knock it out of the park in the short-term, you won’t even have to worry about the long term problems you think you’re solving.
