    Somewhat rude to call it chunky, though. Let's say healthy.

  • Well, if it's stupid I think I'll refrain. /s

  • I don't disagree with anything you're saying.

    What I wrote was based on my personal experience, managing engineers on product teams and how I approached the role as manager.

    We owned the products we developed and maintained and as a team we enjoyed great autonomy, and so we were spared customers/clients asking for the ridiculous, and I can probably count on one hand (ok, maybe two hands) the times we just had to do something because corporate said so.

    We always pushed for engineers' involvement in product and feature development, planning/roadmaps, and they did indeed have great influence over the what and the how. Push back from engineers on products' suggestions/ideas/plans were frequent, and attention was paid.

    This was for a company in Norway, where perhaps top down management isn't as prevalent as in many other places, and employees are typically encouraged to speak up and get involved. Again, in my experience.

    I found that being there to support and assist my engineers, not micro managing them, gave great results in terms of team culture and work satisfaction. I made it clear that I would always have their backs as long as they didn't intentionally fuck something up.

    I fully realize this isn't the case everywhere, nor even typical.

    All said, I really enjoyed being a manager. On some level it triggered a father's instincts in me, and I took great pride in looking after people and seeing what they were capable of building as a team.

  • As a former tech manager, I'd argue you're a pretty shit manager if you tell your people how to solve a problem. Guide, inform, clarify, help remove obstacles etc. etc., but the solution is for the engineers to find.

  • Lol, now I'm picturing Macron sneaking up into the Notré Dame attic with a matchbox in hand, giggling.

  • Japan has opened its first osmotic power plant – so what is it and how does it work?

    Jump

  • From the article:

    fresh water – or treated wastewater

    I understood it as using water not suited for household use (+ sea water) to power a plant that can create fresh water for the community?

  • Yeah, I liked this one. The first layer is "haha, he's not wearing pants, rad lad", then the next layer hits; "oh shit, he is wearing pants, and he's definitely not doing what he wants..".
