On: Torvalds: You can avoid Rust as a C maintainer, but you can't interfere with it

That puts far too many chefs in the kitchen and worse(!) dilutes your time and understanding of the part of the code you know well. You need to trust your fellows in other areas of the code to make good decisions without you, and focus on what you know. Let other people do their own job without micromanaging them. Spend your time in your own lane.

Sometimes the other team proves incompetent and you are forced to do their job. However that is an unusual case. So trusting other teams to do their job well (which includes trying something you don't like) is a good rule.
