@dgouldin Apparently both Lyft and Uber are trying to become the Facebook of Transportation.


@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?


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.


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.


8/ I can only aspire to support and encourage my peers like Jo did.

Be a Jo.


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.


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>


2/ This manager (call them Jo) started in engineering, was very technical, stayed relevant, and managed to strike a great balance of leading, protecting their people from the worst of upper management decisions, encouraging us to grow and improve, and was generally awesome.
