Currently learning in public how to be an Engineering Manager.

007. University or Kindergarten šŸ§’

What happens when you start treating your team like the adults they are?

006. Autonomy šŸ‘£

What does standing back and letting the team own the work actually mean?

005. Friends šŸ‘Æā€ā™€ļø

If youā€™ve also recently transitioned to Engineering Manager from Individual Contributor you may find yourself in the precarious position of managing ex-peers and friends.

004. Hiring šŸ‘©ā€šŸ’¼

Everyone and their dog will tell you that hiring is hard in the tech industry. What if I told you the problem isnā€™t that itā€™s too hardā€¦ itā€™s that itā€™s too easyā€¦

003. The Man šŸ‘“

With International Womenā€™s Day upon us once more, I muse more about what transparency actually meansā€¦

002. Radiator ā˜¢ļø

In the musical Hamilton, they sing about ā€œbeing in the room where it happenedā€. As Engineering Manager, Iā€™ve now finally found myself in ā€œthe roomā€ where a lot of talk happens. Decisions get made, strategies are strategised and plans are hatchedā€¦

001. Transition šŸ¦‹

Life is all about change. I had never thought I would be a software engineer let alone an engineering managerā€¦
