The world gets a glimpse into tech CEOs' homes. What do we see? 🧵 ImageImageImageImage
Zuckerberg:
- Completely neutral, personality-free background
- No sunburn, thanks to dedicated use of sunscreen Image
Pichai:
- Dark wood desk adds gravitas, I trust people with wood desks
- He owns books, so he's probably smart Image
Bezos:
- Supposedly sells books but mostly keeps other shit on his bookshelves, kinda like Amazon Image
Cook:
- Coordinated glasses and tie, nice detail
- Very sleek and modern wood panels reminiscent of Apple products
- Respect him because he can keep plants alive Image
I'm extremely disappointed none of them dialed in with an unmade bed and/or a half eaten jar of peanut butter with a spoon in it
A hundred people have commented that these are all staged. Yes, the staging is what makes them interesting. What were they and their team trying to convey or avoid with their choices?

people always ask me how I keep my orchids alive and blooming for years. it's easy, as long as you follow these four simple steps:

1) never think about your orchid. if it catches you thinking about it, it will die 🧵
2) every few days, place an ice cube in the orchid's pot. this is not an effective way to water an orchid, but it's fun to do
3) if the orchid yellows, you're watering it either too much or too little. to know which it is, reflect upon your true nature. does your cold neglect drive your lovers to therapy, or do you smother your loved ones with suffocating affection? whichever it is, do the opposite now

something I've observed a number of times: getting promoted can be demoralizing, especially at senior levels, for people who are highly goal oriented. it's counterintuitive. here's what I think is going on:
1) you spend a lot of time planning for this goal (maybe years). once you get it, you no longer have something to plan for, especially if you've been promoted to a level senior enough to not have clear next steps for a next promotion.
2) after you invest a lot of your energy into getting promoted, you get promoted and it's just.....a title change and raise? that's it. nothing really changes. it can feel like a huge letdown.

My 9 book picks for engineering leaders 👇
The Manager's Path by Camille Fournier. An experienced engineering manager describes the core roles, relationships, and responsibilities of TLs, TLMs, and engineering managers. A strong recommendation for any new or mid-career engineering leader. oreilly.com/library/view/t…
High Output Management by Andy Grove. The famed Intel exec describes his approach to running a tech company. This book has been foundational within Silicon Valley; it's worth reading to understand the origin of many modern tech management practices. amazon.com/dp/B015VACHOK/…

Folks often ask me what I do at work. What even IS an engineering director? I don’t write code all day anymore, so it seems very mysterious. Here’s my answer: people, processes, priorities.
(1) People. Hiring, career growth, happiness, performance management, compensation, team culture, psychological safety, coaching the managers in my org. This is perhaps the most visible and obvious aspect of management.
(2) Processes. Are we making good decisions in a timely manner? Are we looking at the right metrics for launches? Are we planning and executing well? Is the product team far enough ahead of engineering? Are our technical decisions taking the right factors into account?

Achieving Mindfulness: An Introductory Guide For Parents In Small Apartments & Crowded Homes 🧵
1) Start your mindfulness journey with a shower. Count to three as you breathe hot steam in, then let it out. Stay in the shower until a child breaks a limb or your spouse’s spirit, whichever comes first.
2) Repetitive tasks free the mind from worry. Luckily, you can practice mindful repetition in your own home! Sixteen times a day, your children’s insatiable hunger gives you the opportunity to slather peanut butter on celery. After 6 months, you'll be COMPLETELY FREE FROM WORRY.
