The rise and fall of the Dungeon Master

I believe I have really talented "dungeon masters" in my team. When discussing new technology to adopt or refactors, you need their input but I am never sure it there are raising valid points or if there are subconsciously defending their dungeon.

We all have our biases, myself included, maybe by wanting something new and shiny, I just want to become the next dungeon master.

I'm ambivalent with this article, too. I consider almost valid all the points listed in the post, but I think also that having a "Dungeon Master" can be helpful a lot.

Probably, the greater risk to me is to have a master as a chief, not paired with another person in the same role with a different (less legacy-based) point of view.
