If I don't deliver my startup burns in a year.
In my previous role if I didn't deliver the people who were my reports did not get their bonuses.
The incentives are very clear, and have always been clear - deliver.
- rurp 2y agoSuccesful companies aren't built in a sprint. I doubt there has ever been a successful startup that didn't have at least some competent people thinking a number of steps ahead. Piling up tech debt to hit some short term arbitrary goals is not a good plan for real success.
- theflyinghorse 2y agoThese are platitudes. Here's a real example of delivering something now without worrying about being the best engineer I can. I have 2 CSRs, They are swamped with work and we're weeks away from bringing another CSR on board. I find a couple of time consuming tasks that are easy to automate and build those out separately as one-off jobs that work well enough. Instantly it's a solid time gain & stress reducer to CSRs. Are my one-off automation tasks a long term solution? No. Do I care? Not at the moment, and my ego can take a hit for the time being.
