The company was lucky to have someone like you that could actually sort out real problems efficiently. I would bring up this story when negotiating for a raise.

My approach so far is to be very very allowing —- until any failure becomes apparent and it can “naturally be discussed” (or it causes problems with colleagues in the group). This can be quite stressful though — I do not think the people re

As an engineering manager myself I concur with all the points. Some of them are difficult though, for example: “optimize the dual objectives of delivering value to the organization and giving individuals problems that build their skillset,

I would suggest that one tries to limit dependancies. The entire node ecosystem contraviene this so maybe people should not use it.

This skill is what differentiates really good developers from not so good developers (that may wrongly believe themselves they are good): How good are you at reading code, finding out how smaller parts work in a larger system and understan

The most compatible technique is long polling (with a re-established connection after X seconds if no event). Works suprisingly well in many cases and is not blocket by any proxies.

Good ability to read code is what separates agood developer from not that good. A good developer can work on any project. A not so good developer can only work in smaller not so complex projects written in their favorite framework with cert

Typical supoptimization that is probably suggested by some management consultant that has been hired by some department by an incompetent manager that him/herself is struggling (due to incompetence).

As an engineering manager I tried to replace daily stand up meetings with a “drop a couple of lines in the team chat daily”. I think it worked great and a lot of more relevant information was brought forward and lead to more productive co-o

Great skill to not always having to be right (even when you are). This helps you alot when you want to acctually accomplish or change something - which is something you usually want to do when you have alot of knowledge.

”Now, with Delta, it looks like the figures are 64%, 93% and 93% according to Israel, and 79% for symptomatic infection and 96% hospitalization according to the UK.” I doubt these will turn out to be correct numbers. Looking at recent week’

Especially nowadays when ppl learn some specific JavaScript framework, think they know how to best do stuff (because the framework is hyped), and then the learning curve stagnates.
