They are not talking about writing "glue code" (misleading title perhaps). They are talking about engineering management and senior responsibilities: > You'd like to have time to code, but nobody else is onboarding the junior engineers, updating the roadmap, talking to the users, noticing the things that got dropped, asking questions on design documents, and making sure that everyone's going roughly in the same direction... If this describes you, congratulations: you're the glue. Edit: Looks like the title was changed to "Being Glue" which is probably a better title.

This what I though first just after sew previous title for this HN thread! And "being glue" is mostly my way in contributing to opensource projects which I'm involved in ;) FTR, As a background, I have master's degree in PM.
