It's kind of how things work in our industry and I find it very frustrating. Once I became a "Front-end Engineer" I had to work like crazy to be "Backend" and then lucked into "Operations". Now I'm "Full-stack" but only a "Web Developer" so I can't do any cool ML stuff or data engineering or embedded or whatever. I have to do it in my free time and I'm exhausted most evenings. I do sacrifice my weekends! Yay!
- sargun 10y agoFrom the management perspective, how else would you handle this? I.e. Allocation of resources? It's very difficult to reason about global resource allocation. In addition how do you deal with resource mapping and best fit during allocation? I think the multi-level allocation model works better than anything anyone else has suggested.
- haskellandchill 10y agoWhen I am a manager I will develop my people. I will hire them by getting to know them. I will encourage conference attendance and networking as well as outreach to study groups. Let's lift each other up and build welcoming communities of practice. Not sure what your reference to multi-level allocation model means.

- Aeolun 10y agoI'm not sure conference attendance does anything worthwhile. It doesn't harm, but in my experience conference attendance only serves to pique interest in new/different technologies, not in actually learning it.
