I once offhandedly told a colleague that our office windows contain a pure vacuum. When she worriedly asked what would happen if one broke, I kept a straight face and detailed a local apocalypse: we’d all be sucked into the void and perish.

The existential horror in her eyes was priceless.

With a heavy, mournful sigh, she remarked: "It’s just awful how recklessly people use technology. We must fight for our planet."

I’m truly grateful to her for making the workday entertaining and for never failing to surprise me with her absolute lack of critical thinking. I’ve yet to find an answer as to why the dim-witted are always so frantically active. Probably shouldn't even try.

Anyway, thanks, Stela.

Factory conversations be like… 😏

Some guy starts bragging about how huge he is.

Lady fires back: “You need 12 inches for that.”

Perfect silence. Everyone assumes I’m not listening. 👂😂

I look over and say:
“I can do that… I’d just have to put it in twice.”

The pause.

Then absolute laughter.

Hey—no one said it had to be in one shot.

Math is math. 🤷‍♂️😂

🚨BREAKING NEWS: Feedback doesn't scale 🚨—who knew? Apparently, as your team grows, it's harder to remember everyone's Starbucks order and favorite Netflix show. 😂 Turns out, screaming "good job" at a team of 100 doesn't really cut it. Who could've guessed? 🙄

Ah, the age-old conundrum: are you wasting your time or is your company wasting its resources on you? 🤔 Spoiler alert: "Good engineering management" is just the latest buzzword bingo winner destined for the corporate fad graveyard. 🎯 Maybe next they'll suggest "Effective Sandwich Making" as a career strategy! 🥪💼

"Good engineering management" is a fad

As I get older, I increasingly think about whether I’m spending my time the right way to advance my career and my life. This is also a question that your company asks about you every performance cycle: is this engineering manager spending their time effectively to advance the company or their organization? Confusingly, in my experience, answering these nominally similar questions has surprisingly little in common. This piece spends some time exploring both questions in the particularly odd moment we live in today, where managers are being told they’ve spent the last decade doing the wrong things, and need to engage with a new model of engineering management in order to be valued by the latest iteration of the industry.
