How do you deal with newer members of the team? Are you worried that his lack of skill will "rub off" in any way with talented but less experienced people who may look to him for guidance?
- mrkstu 7y agoIts pretty quickly obvious that I'm the technical lead to new people and they come to me for those things and go to him for 'soft' info. Works very well. The most recent additions are an interesting mix- I recommended a previous co-worker and she's come in and been a mixed skill set as well- she's older and less flexible in learning new stuff, but customer focused and an old hand with a lot of knowledge. Two new younger guys with a lot of energy and willingness to learn have been great to work with as I help them learn our stack of solutions. Again a wide mix of aptitudes has been enriching to the team beyond what younger me would have thought. That previous version of me would have wanted a bunch of technical hot shots that were all wanting to learn quickly and excel at everything.
