11-12) are... thought provoking. Not sure if meant to be read as mutually exclusive -- must you be an an IC to be a leader? -- but it definitely resonates with me. Hmm. Processing.
For example, I have, I think, the skills to be a good people manager. Yet over the past 3.5 years, I have not managed my direct reports well for many lengths of time.

Why? Because my head was tied up in visionary mode or persuasion mode or find-a-lever-to-move-the-world mode.
I trusted my reports to be okay and run things in the shade of my benevolent neglect. I trusted that we had systems to surface problems to me and snap me out if needed.

It didn't work flawlessly. But I didn't really have a choice. If I understand, you're saying the same here,

btw -- just so it's clear, I have tremendous respect for eng managers. it's a tough gig that takes creativity, vulnerability and an endless well of emotional energy. the good ones are worth their weight in gold; they are the lungs of any high performing team.
I wrote this not to shit on management, but to prod engineers to think about what they really want and need out of the second half of their career.

And to wrest back the power and influence and impact they should have had all along. (Let @dbsmasher be thy guide!)
It's not good for anybody if the manager is somebody who doesn't really want to be doing the job, deep down.

And manager jobs might be less miserable if we didn't drop ALL the people labor in their laps. Spread the load a bit, let everyone practice.

Wow, getting lots of reactions to this podcast -- maybe the biggest response for any podcast I've ever done. Not bad for a story about a product that has been defunct for over three years...
... but I'm not all that surprised, either. Parse was a labor of love, and a visionary product that permanently raised the bar for developer tools.

Here is the blog post I wrote after Facebook shut it down: charity.wtf/2016/02/03/how…
Here is the cake from the acquisition party, and the cake I commissioned for the reunion party/funeral after they announced the shutdown. (Note the thumb)

Thread: News Summary from the Week that Was (28 July – 3 August)

1. As usual, the legacy media either skipped, obfuscated, or never provided the proper context and follow-up on a number of stories over the past week. Here’s my take on what they missed.
2. Let’s get started with some more #WINNING on the federal judiciary confirmation front. This is an YUUUGE Trumpian legacy:

<quote>
2A. Instead of focusing on the reshaping of the judiciary, the liberal media and activists are focused on calling McConnell “Moscow Mitch.”

1. #QAnon has just dropped a post about symbolism at an amazingly corresponding juncture of events! #Q
2. #QAnon's picture, like all, is original, at least insofar as the pic does not appear to've been from the internet. #Q
3. #QAnon Of course the interest here is that the pic greatly resembles the temple built on #EpsteinIsland. #Q
