I share this doc with the most promising people I get to work with. When I worked at Lookout, Jeff Hodges shared this essay as a presentation, and ended it with a corollary: don't pretend that engineering isn't political. People that think that the code speaks for itself are missing out on important aspects of how to influence the way things are built and how to truly get results. Ten years later, and there are few people who still so concisely understand the intersection of engineering leadership and those table-stakes capabilities we normally associate with SRE / DevOps.
