I've been in NYC all week for #LeadDevNewYork #LeadingEngNewYork #StaffPlusNewYork, and it strikes me just how many stories and questions I've been hearing about career pendulum issues. 🤔 Problems with comp, ladders, recruiting, accountants etc.

This is GREAT. This is progress.
When all you hear is happy stories about people swinging back to engineering work after management, you can assume it's a rare and curious event. You're bucking the system, not changing it.

Friction and cranky accountants are a sign the status quo is shifting, tho. 🙃
We talk a lot about how powerful you become as a contributor with both skill sets. We talk less about the detoxifying effect it has on team dynamics, when you drain the authoritarian elements and respect management like any other function.

(do read the whole thread ☺️)

Hey, friends! I’m at #LeadDevNewYork. I’m going to be trying to get my livetweeting mojo back, so I encourage you to mute the tag if you don’t want a firehose of conference content.
First up, @nerdneha! Building Culture Through Communication.
Why focus on communication? Because communication and team culture can’t be decoupled. There’s no way to make them separate.

ignore the wonky titles; @akvanh and @alainadev are software engineers at *Honeycomb*, and if you're going to #leaddevnewyork you REALLY do not want to miss this talk.

i mean.. only if you're into first-hand testimonials on building teams that are sustainably high-performing. 😉
@akvanh @alainadev i actually livetweeted a much earlier version of this talk, seen here:

a taste of the good shit:

* real world examples of life-changing instrumentation
* cultural ripple effects of putting software engineers oncall
* why new hires need puzzles & buddies
* why having distributed team members makes your team stronger
* bringing everyone up to the level of the best debugger... in every subject area
* how engineers and non-engineers use the same tooling to do their jobs, and why it matters
* and even some juicy outage stories.
