Fearless Bit

While reading 10 Things I Hate About Software Development, I came across a list of nine things that kill teamwork that TomDeMarco and Tim Lister in their book Peopleware.  I followed the link through to find out what that list was and found myself nodding in vehement agreement with them and the examples that the author of the article listed.

How much do those nine killers ring true with you?

Ran across this article just now and wanted to link to it cuz the concept is really fascinating to me!
