> Expecting without expressing. Absolutely this. You have to let people know what you expect and where they stand, and with honesty and compassion. I'm surprised this article doesn't mention setting boundaries. As a leader (and coder), the best thing I've learned to do is set aside regularly-scheduled time to meet with individual colleagues. People no longer walk into my office or ping me on Slack when they run into technical problems. They take the time to think through things before bugging me and often come up with solutions on their own. It works wonders. Don't be a jerk about it, but don't be as available. If someone interrupts you with a technical problem, tell them that both of you should set aside dedicated time to discuss and explore it.
