Sure, tell that to the HR authorities who are insisting on only hiring one 'type' of developer for the currently exasperated teams, who then have to do things that types way, or else - even when half the team already does 'type' and knows why we should stop doing it.
I know its not a popular opinion, but 30+ years of experience in the software industry, from top to bottom, including stints in HR projects, has led me to conclude: HR is never senior to technical staff. Ever.
HR is not your friend. It is an organizational adversary imposed, usually, by executives who cannot make technical arguments or see things through to completion, no matter the depth of their understanding of the subject in focus, or otherwise.
If you are a technical person, never accept career guidance from someone who cannot do your job. Period.
Technology is about action, and doing things. Its not about identity. HR in the modern zeitgeist, from big corp to startup, typically avoids having to participate in any action of company product-building by instead promoting identity-as-service.
That this gets inverted is a huge cause of technical debt, imposed by nonsense policies and scripts that do not have a place in technological realms, but rather drama theater.
Then you would be inferring that as a professional, I would be incapable of making an objective assessment of the teams I have been asked to manage, recruit for, rescue, reform, refactor, or disband .. over a period of 30 years.
But that's okay, I could as easily dismiss you with the rationale that you are probably a HR person, as you seem mostly interested in psychology and not the very real, counter-productive problems one might encounter were one to work in the technology industry.
