    Simple - stop (or at least reduce) programming, change into management. Commented Mar 31, 2020 at 10:59
  • @DocBrown Why? As a developer I don't have means to improve the teams, or my mindset is management one? Commented Mar 31, 2020 at 11:06

    You are really lucky that in your "long career" this is the first time you got into such a team. My experience shows that these kind of teams are common. And yes, as a developer, you don't have power to make such a change. You need to be in management position to be able to push such changes. Commented Mar 31, 2020 at 11:07

    @Landeeyo, perhaps you've simply got lucky so far. A developer can certainly call themselves experienced as an individual after 8 years (although it might be overdoing it to call this "rather" experienced). The problem is that increasingly software teams have very little experience or continuity together, so you get a bunch of casuals together (including the managers) who all have the same shallow experience and are all products of a contracting merry-go-round, rather than an organised team with settled interactions whose capabilities are more than the sum of their parts.
