> In addition as a leader your best use is often to be interrupted with questions from junior engineers. I kinda disagree w/ this. I get better results from helping people understand this: https://www.techtello.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/decision-tree-for-making-better-decisions.png https://www.techtello.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/decisio... And then making sure that they're taking action when they should take action and getting help when they should be getting help. This means they are wrong sometimes but it's better for them to be wrong sometimes and learn than to be interrupting with too many questions when they should just be doing their best. Admittedly at this point my only direct reports are bosses themselves, but they vast majority of questions they have for me go into a shared 1:1 doc that we address monthly. Everything else they take action on and report as needed.
