The benevolent dictator

Benevolent dictator is just a catchy term for the fact that when you're doing this open coding, a lot of teams get bogged down in having a committee do this. We want everybody on board, we want everybody involved. And for a lot of situations, that's wholly unnecessary. You need to cut through the noise. In a lot of organizations, if you look really deeply, you can appoint one person whose taste that you trust. So it would be the person who understands the business. It's always a domain expert. Like, for legal, it would be a law person. For mental health, it would be the mental health expert. Oftentimes it is the product manager.
