I've measured "engineering velocity" for a very long time, but I'm starting to focus more on "engineering drag". These are the things that slow down engineering teams.
This includes product discovery, local dev environments, CI/CD pipelines, etc.
Reduce drag to go faster.
I'm writing my first manager's read-me ever and its quite difficult. @molly0xFFF read-me is very helpful as we have similar approach to management. Happy to have access to this! https://t.co/HQZVQOBRJs
Tomorrow is my first day in new job after maternity leave. My mom decided it's #backtoschool moment and got me a #lego pencil case and pen, plus crayons. I'm joining @intel as Eng Manager and feel soooo prepared now 😂🤣😂
The US election is tomorrow. If you, like me, are tired of horse-race-style reporting, and need to zoom out, I wanna tell you a story. It’s about an ancient force influencing the election. And, as a bonus, it’ll give you an Easter egg to watch for as the returns come in. THREAD
I have a full time career managing software development teams, but I spend a fair amount of time on Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) work.
A common question I still get is, "What's the business case for diversity? What advantage do we gain by being inclusive?"

@DaianyMargarita@TheLeadDev@yennycheung@thesportygeek I'm watching it right now :) Interesting point - in some cases predictability is more important that speed of delivery. I think setting this clear can ease a lot of pressure in team - PM communication.
Documentation should always be created with beginners in mind. If you were brand new, could you follow along? Good documentation starts with a beginner mindset.
I’ve never not seen this be true.
