How to be a "good" boss very much depends on the people and the circumstances. There's really only one constant: clarity. Even if the boss's style is authoritarian micromanagement, which most people on HN won't feel comfortable with, if said boss provides clarity and consistency certain types of people will be happy to work for them. Knowing what is expected of you is the most important part of being comfortable in the role of employee. The rest is more a matter of personal preference.
