Tbh I'm not fond of the term "leader" bc it implies the existence of "followers".

I prefer thinking about it in terms of agency and ownership, or autonomy and giving a shit.

I've often jokingly said I owe my career to a lifelong overdeveloped sense of ownership.

The longer I am in this industry, the more I realise that there is leadership in title or name and then actual get shit done leadership.

If you see a failing test or a codebase that needs linting and you fix it, that's leadership.
