Funny in a startup I value people being pinch hitters. Sure you should have your domain but if there is some exceptional event I want somebody to be able to cover for you or for you to do some job that wasn't even on the roster yesterday.
True. I guess what I mean is that other engineers try to take over the architecture and design. For instance, I had a fellow engineer without even talking with me, create a 2.0 vision doc for part of the system that I had designed and was mainly responsible for. This was clearly an attempt by them, to raise their status and influence.
I feel this pretty hard. You almost have to do your own 2.0 vision doc for things to make sure your name is on it in order to preempt the opportunists and influence pirates, but that can lead to you being seen as "hogging all the good work" and turning into the common adversary.
