Is it possible to do both?
I hear senior VPs like Craig Federighi, Jeff Dean, and others, still write code (maybe 1 day a week but still), but also call the big shots
- khazhoux 4y agoI don't know about Jeff, but Craig runs an org with tens of thousands of engineers. If he were writing code, it'd be a waste of time. (and Craig doesn't waste his time)
- sidibe 4y agoJeff Dean also eventually managed a huge org (Sanjay Ghemawat managed to avoid this) It's not a waste of time if it makes them more effective at making decisions, gives them ideas, or keeps them abreast of what is actually going on.
- khazhoux 4y agoIdeas, staying sharp, keeping up with swift and pytorch etc… sure, absolutely useful to code on weekends or a bit here and there. What I meant what that there’s literal zero way someone can be an SVP and still perform any actual IC work.
