Tag management

The best management advice I ever got is to try and figure out what good management looks like and then put on a performance - try and act like a good manager, go through all of the required motions Because it turns out imitating a good manager and actually being a good manager are mostly the same thing (I think about this sometimes when I encounter debates about whether or not LLMs can reason about or understand content)

I'm going to have someone reporting to me for the first time in many years. What are you're favorite things to read/watch about managing people? It's for a DevRel role but I don't need the content to be about DevRel.

Managers tell you what’s happening. Leaders tell you what’s coming.

Juniors don’t fail, seniors fail to support their juniors.

A rant on behalf of a junior. Asking your junior engineer to "build their manager's trust back" means something went HORRIBLY HORRIBLY WRONG.

A good manager should never surprise you. Never ever. Not during performance reviews. Not during re-orgs. You should always know where you stand and where you're going.
