Good engineering managers don’t do one job–they have three
- dalke 12y agoThe headline used the wrong terminology. The article, which is an interview with Jessica McKellar, quotes her as saying: > “When engineering management is done right, you’re focusing on three big things,” she says. “You’re directly supporting the people on your team; you’re managing execution and coordination across teams; and you’re stepping back to observe and evolve the broader organization and its processes as it grows.” It's better to say that an engineering manager has three roles, not three jobs. Also, the original article is at http://firstround.com/review/this-is-what-impactful-engineering-leadership-looks-like/ http://firstround.com/review/this-is-what-impactful-engineer... and is titled "This Is What Impactful Engineering Leadership Looks Like" Were it up to me, I would change the link to the original source and title.
