An infinite loop of software trends :-)

To answer parent, I actually think better understanding of personality types and how manage people better will come with far better productivity.

The jungle of technology alternatives of how to solve business problems, causes a lot of unnecessary fights. It doesn't matter if you choose React, Angular or Vanilla JS. If your team is fighting each other, your team is not productive.

With this in mind, don't hire people that always agree with you, you always need someone to challenge you.
