They are heard. The issue is, as always in programming, you want to do
an informed decision. That's why I don't like architecture astronauts,
as they aren't really informed (the day they wrote production code is
long gone), that's why your Joe Random, your project manager does not
dictate technical details, that's why the guy who joined your company
last week doesn't start to decide things he can't estimate yet. Of
course you listen to your project manager and of course you listen to
the guy who came in lately (you better completely ignore the
architecture astronaut ;-)) but there voices have a different weight
than the voice of the guy who did all the freaky business logic stuff.
Let's stick with the company picture: if your CEO comes in and requests
a certain feature, often it is a good idea to unsell it (and if he is
good, he will accept a good argument) - because of stability,
maintainability, safety and security. I'm not saying the core
contributors are always right, but there being core contributors is an
evidence.

cu, Lars
