Oh hi! So @jenniferdary asked me to share my thoughts on managing or something. Take a look.

"Managing humans is, more than anything else, about maintaining a set of human relationships. And the simplest truth I know about human relationships is that they require trust."

SNYAM alumni Mike Lee drops some true managing wisdom on the blog today:

ಠ_ಠ This is not how opt-in is supposed to work @Lionsgate Particularly while redeeming something that I paid for #darkpatterns

So, my thoughts on engineering performance management have always been a bit idiosyncratic, but Matt's tweets today have me reflecting, so... storytime. 1/

@isiahmeadows1 @carc1n0gen Yes I was finding amusement that they chose empty string instead of explicitly saying "no". Imagine a verbal conversation where a person responds "probably", "maybe", or sheepishly refuses to say anything

[HTMikeLee @HTMikeLee]

I want people from all backgrounds to have the same opportunities I've had. I hope @joinpursuit is able to take that money and change some lives /end

[HTMikeLee @HTMikeLee]

A lot's been happening lately. But I wanted to drop a note about something I care a lot about. A few weeks ago I donated half of what I received in the @AmericanExpress acquisition of Resy to @joinpursuit Why? Thread 🧵

[HTMikeLee @HTMikeLee]

This led me to @joinpursuit They are a Queens based org retraining adultsin need for careers in tech. I also know someone who employs a few graduates and tells me that they are doing well. If these are things that you are interested in I recommend checking them out.

@MichaelMontero @CrowdTwist @Oracle That's a hell of a track record. Congrats!

Peopling super hard today

[HTMikeLee @HTMikeLee]

I've made a habit of, after having an offer accepted, sending a note to my hiring panel thanking them for their time and talking about why I'm excited to have this person join us. This is a great idea. I should share these with the new hires.

In an unmetered PTO situation it's so important to have a clear policy setting expectations that people actually take time off

Software systems include the developers and operators. If the humans don't know how to run an incident (or other realities of software in production), then THAT SYSTEM IS STILL VAPORWARE.
