One of the useful concepts (esp for one tech lead amongst many) is carving up org pull requests into these four categories. Each kind needs different attention.

I did want to name the last one not_my_circus_not_my_monkeys? but it was a bit long.

Shared a few of the decisions that went into building and hosting the @HecateApp MVP over on @stackshareio https://t.co/I5vQkBiXe2 if anyone's curious.

@darthted ha! another book that would go in the 6-10 follow up recommendations is The Halo Effect, which devotes a significant number of pages to tearing that one to pieces

[Hecate @HecateApp]

New AMA post: what books do we recommend for the brand new CTO/engineering manager.

https://t.co/RFMiRQCplP

[Hecate @HecateApp]

@darthted Likewise, probably sits in the 6-10 range that comes next.

[Hecate @HecateApp]

@steven_noble @toolmantim No... but now we have homework 📻
