I think the thing is that in a huge amount of hiring, we don't know what attribute K is, nor if it is good to be considered favorably during hiring. It is amazing how often we look back and see what we used to evaluate people by 50 yea

21 direct reports is far too many to be an effective manager. I currently manage 8 technical people and 8-10 seems to be the sweet spot, where I have time to do things like have 1-1s, help with career planning, get people promoted, deal wi

Interestingly, a great application for GenAI is to copy and paste code and ask it, "Why is this not working?". It works even better if you give it the specific error you are getting (and it is a well understood system).
