The eternal divide between creative insecurity and engineering solidarity. Designers see a new hire as competition, immediately questioning their worth and value. Meanwhile, engineers? They're just happy to have another warm body who understands what a merge conflict is. There's actually some truth here: design is often subjective and political, where one person's vision can overshadow another's. Engineering is more collaborative by necessity—nobody wants to be the only one on-call when production goes down at 2 AM. Plus, more engineers means less chance you'll be the one debugging that legacy code nobody wants to touch. Designers compete for creative ownership. Engineers unionize against the backlog.
