Incident responders trying to play hero are like the firefighters who become arsonists for the adrenaline rush. It’s easy but so toxic to reward solo heroics
Advice to make incidents better learning: - declare lots of incidents (practice before truly bad happens!) - encourage everyone to participate - use great incident debriefs in onboarding - show your working - watch out for anyone playing hero #LeadDevLondon @paprikati_eng
