It’s time to get more coffee ☕️ I’ll put it in my cup ☕️ And maybe sometime later 🕣 I’ll finally wake up 🌅
@emilybell If news providers published more in-depth reporting, with documentation, and less click-bait on the same topics, perhaps users would not get story-fatigue?
1/ So, I'm one of the more senior engineers on our team, and recently two of our engineering managers left the company for new opportunities. Totally happy for them but it's left some holes in the org. In particular, my immediate manager left, one of the best I've had <subtweet>
5/ I talked with them and another of their engineers for over an hour, discussing the high-priority tasks they've been given, talking over platforms they could target, and how to take their first feature and push a spike through each level of delivery.
6/ I rather talked too much (it's a failing of mine when I get going) but worked to make space for dialog, and tried to let them lead the conversation (with mixed success).
4/ Today I had a conversation with another feature team lead, who's been having a hard time figuring out how to bootstrap their team's area of responsibility. They have the technical chops, but aren't sure how to get started. Did they want to get on a call and talk?
3/ I've been doing my best to fill the gaps Jo left from a technical perspective; I already provide a good amount of direction on technical issues, and I've been operating as a feature team lead for a while now.
7/ At some point, my connection dropped, and when I finally got the VPN back up and back on the call, this lead said "while you were gone, we decided that you're our new Jo".
I have little desire to get into management, but this may be the best work compliment I've ever had.
