One foremost aspect I see missing in the discussion is: "It depends" It depends massively and that's the main problem. So I'd focus on understanding how that works with this specific manager M you are concerned about. It

Don't assume people know how to communicate. Provide education material, cultural backgrounds, descriptions of things to avoid. Incentives that are aligned with good communication. For example: - Chat discourages thought. - Chat burrie

This is the kind of feedback I was looking for. These are not conditions that we are familiar with - and so the user interface for such things is not necesarily obvious. For example: - I would expect that their and your mom did not forget h

Isn't there a problem of perspective here? As a head of engineering you are hands on at getting entire projects and strategies done - which are not measured in single lines of code. You are not hands on at pushing a few lines of code.

And wherever Waymo deploys, it's pretty likely that people will be using it because there is a need for it - rather than ideological push to hand over money to Google. (I guess I was being unclear: not their personal inclination to han

There is a /s missing in there. Muni is painfully slow, the entire system including BART dangerous, and the timetable a joke.

Google and Waymo have been working on that problem for a while. And starting a Waymo service area involves letting loose a fleet of them there. You should expect the map quality to improve fast in serviced areas.

The problem is how to get voters to approve your tax change. It's easy if you can split the voters. That is, blame X of them and tax them, which the rest and a few good souls will happily support. Otherwise you are back to suggesting a

Sure, sure. I think the comment was meant as FTE as strong evidence of continuity. As an employer, you shouldn't rely on any one FTE employee staying indefinitely or giving you very long notice before leaving. You need to think about w

This is great feedback - and this is something that's 100% not captured or reflected in "grades". You can want to learn, and you can want the piece of paper. The two are not incompatible but they kinda both have to be done on

You are under this illusion about other fields like architects because you don't work there and you can't tell. You don't know how the sausage is made. Historically I have tended to learn about a new field WAY too much before
