I'm glad to see Darin working solely on the browser, and excited to see him in the SWE role!
When I was working on Chrome I had a strange leftover 1:1 with him (was a VP at that point.) He always impressed me with the deep understanding of the Chromium code stack and he did unblock my work as a SWE with that - An example: At at time I was struggling with an extra latency some callback incurred. He rightly pointed out that the other one (that backs the JS microtask) had smaller latency...and that was right! My problem was solved, by a VP, in the code!
Clearly he was wasting his time as a high-level manager, but I loved that fact. And that's why I cannot help but cheer this move.
- yrgulation 4y ago> My problem was solved, by a VP, in the code! Thats proper tech leadership right there. Thanks for sharing, shame this is not the norm.
- incomplete 4y ago/agreemsg. i had the privilege of giving a preso to mark russinovich ~6w ago, and came away from w/the exact reaction: a good tech leader should truly understand the deepest crevasses and be able to spin that back in to context when meeting w/technical people. and yes, shame this isn't the norm.
