Psychological Safety in a Software Team

The title and premise is about how important psychological safety is. But the actual content is about how to avoid making mistakes and caving in or getting out of environments lacking safety.

The premise sounds nice, and the content is practical, but they don't seem to belong to the same article. :)

It's been observed that the perception of psychological safety is often more important than actual safety.

As someone who used to work in a human resource role, development resources that feel safe will often take ownership in the event of an incident. This in turn provides a layer of safety buffer for their managers and other key stakeholders.
